>Dear Y'all,
>
>I am working on a new "room" on the web site of the Mobile (Alabama)
>Genealogical Society. It's called THE NEWS STAND and is a listing of
>(and links to) genealogy columns which appear in newspapers around the
>world. I looked around the web and could not find any *one* online
>place where you could find information on all these columns. It seemed
>to me that it was time that this "void" was filled.
>
>I started out with the intention of listing only those columns which
>were geographicallly close to Mobile, but I received listings from
>far-and-away and, after some contemplation, decided that since MGS
>members have ancestry *everywhere*, it would serve our membership to
>include listings from areas far removed from the Gulf Coast. If that
>information also benefits other Internet surfing genealogists -- all the
>better.
>
>This message is a request for assistance from the online genealogical
>community. I need you to tell me about the genealogy columns that
>appear in your local newspaper so that I can create a comprehensive
>listing for it in THE NEWS STAND.
>
>What we like to include in each listing is...
>
> 1. the name of the column
> 2. the image of the columnist
> 3. the name of the columnist
> 4. the frequency of the column -- in what paper(s) does it appear and
> when?
> 5. the circulation (by counties/parishes) of the paper(s)
> 6. the postal address to which queries and announcements can be sent
> 7. the e-mail address to which queries and announcements can be sent
> 8. the address of any web site that is associated with the column
> (especially if the column is being archived there)
>
>Now, BEFORE you e-mail me your responses, PLEASE visit THE NEWS STAND
>first. The column you want to tell me about might already be there. We
>currently have listings from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Idaho,
>Louisiana, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington (state), New
>Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
>
>Some of the listings are incomplete. I would appreciate help in
>"filling in the blanks" as well as information about columns which are
>not currently listed.
>
>The Cyber Lobby for the MGS web site can be found at...
>http://www.siteone.com/clubs/mgs
>Scroll down to, and click on, THE NEWS STAND.
>
>Please do not bookmark THE NEWS STAND. Please always enter our site via
>the Cyber Lobby as that's where our hidden counter is.
>
>P.S. If you encounter this message more than once, please excuse the
>duplication. Happy Fathers Day!
