Subject: [IOWA] Genealogy Column Idea


Hello Listers,

I am in need of your opinion for a project I am trying to start in
Iowa that would involve the writing of a genealogy column in an Iowa
newspaper. I am seeking the input of as many of you as possible to "test the
waters" before I pitch my idea to any Iowa newspapers.
I would like to know if you would enjoy reading such a column, if you
would support the column by submitting queries (free of charge of course!)
and by writing the editors to tell them how much you appreciate the column
(by e-mail if I can arrange that, since that would be more convenient).
I have 15 years of experience as a writer and more than 20 years
experience as a genealogy researcher, so I have lots to share, but of
course,
I don't "know it all" and am still learning new tricks everyday, just like
most of you.
I would also like to know if any of you already have a genealogy column
in your hometown newspapers, and if possible if you could send me the name
of
the paper (a link to it would be even better!), including the name of the
column and it's author so I can do more research on what is already "out
there".
My sincere thanks to anyone who can respond, make suggestions, etc. Good
luck to you all in your research.

Sincerely,
