Lake County didnt adopt it...I did. Thats why it's address is not
/~inlake/newtbio.htm it is /~KHuish/newtbio.htm.

The biographies arent just for people of historical signifigance...a lot of
little people built this country too (including my ancestors from Newton
Co.), and their descendents are looking for them.

If the Newton county GenWeb page had more than 2 census's and a query page in
over 2 years time, I would think maybe the coordinator was going to do
something towards getting more info online.

You said you were busy getting census's online...that is fine, census
transcription is VERY important. So why is there a problem with someone else
putting up biographies that you never intended to put up in the first place?
Aren't we all here to help people find their roots?
If I had the slightest thought that you would work towards getting more
biographies online, I would quietly offer to walk away and hand it over...but
I dont see it happening. Until you do have such plans...why is there a
problem with someone helping you get information to Newton county people?
I don't want to fight...I just want to help people find their heritage...why
do people have such a problem with cooperation?? I can get my 11 and 4 yr old
daughters to help each other get something done...why can't adults in Indiana
do the same?
