Subject: Re: Hamilton Co. Wills and Site/List Manager needed?
Date: Fri, 10 Dec 1999 06:46:35 -0600


Hi fellow listers!

I have put in a request to adopt the Hamilton county OHGenWeb site. I
should know in a few days whether or not it's accepted. I currently am
the coordinator for Montgomery and Shelby county and I do have roots in
Hamilton county. If I do become coordinator, I will need your help!
I'll let you know more as soon as I hear from Allen Richmond (OHGenWeb
coordinator).
