> 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.
