I thought all the help that my sister, son, grandchildren and I got from you
was absolutely the best. You went way beyond volunteering to help. I could
never have done it without you; as you know, this was really special to me
because my son, who was in Iraq, wanted to get himself and his children in
so badly. You made this possible! Thank you, Susan

I want to carefully and gently word this response as I know Marty
absolutely does not allow any flaming on this list. I think we too often
forget that Marty is the sole owner of the list and that he is in no way
connected to the Gallia County Genealogical Society to which many members on
this list also belong. He graciously allows us to promote our Society
through this list.

As Chair of First Families of Gallia County and the Society of Civil War
Families of Gallia County, I welcome workshops. We discussed this last year
and somehow we just never did it. It came up again in the fall and we said
we should have done it, but I must say that my committee, plus one
volunteer, and I helped anyone who emailed, wrote or walked in to fill out
the papers. In a sense, we held many private workshops and there was
absolutely no charge to anyone as far as I am aware. I recognize that this
is very much needed as so many of you who are joining and have joined live
many miles away.whether it be California or Florida. AND you can only come
in when you are in town. Hopefully a workshop would at least pick up locals
and nearby members.

It was decided to have a genealogy fair and I thought that was to cover
the workshops as I know it is in the minutes that I volunteered to lead the
collateral application workshop as so many seemed to have trouble with that
one. Once you get the hang of it, it's really easy and my committee has the
hang of it. But if you really want workshops separate from the genealogy
fair, I would be happy to conduct them.

I think we can be very proud of these two organizations. We have over
670 documented ancestors for First Families and picked up 22 new ones this
year. It always amazes me. And first year off the ground, we picked up 92
Civil War soldiers contributed by 78 members.

So, let's promote ourselves as Marty allows and if anyone has any
negative comments, please take them off the list to the person with whom you
want to speak.

I would welcome any positive comments and suggestions on this
list.

Henny Evans, Chair, First Families of Gallia County
