Hi gang!

I've been out of touch for awhile, and thanks to my ISP, even unsubbed for
a bit while their mail server went bonkers, but things appear to be back in
order, so I thought it was time for an update!

The Delaware County Genealogy page has just gone through a major face-life
so if you haven't been by in awhile, stop in and check out the changes!
We're in dire need of volunteers for lookups in Del Co, so please help out
if you can by signing up as a volunteer.

Churches and Cemeteries are now online for Del Co, but we don't have many
listings yet, so if you can help out by sending me info on either of these,
please let me know. In each case, we're looking for name of the church or
cem, township, and street address.

Information on retrieving records in Chester County is now online--the link
is on the Chester Links page under "Retrieving Chester County Documents",
http://www.rootsweb.com/~pacheste/infodoc.htm
Thanks to Dora Smith for gathering this info for us!

Over the next several weeks, I hope to be adding several new areas to both
county pages. Among the additions will be Tavern listings in Chester,
Marriages (mostly Del Co Quakers initially), some detail about Historic
Places (both counties), and a special page about family links to famous
people and royalty. Stay tuned!!!

Ross and Debbie Dellinger, coordinators of the New Castle County, DE and
Cecil County, MD pages have just set up new mailing lists for these areas.
Since these counties are neighbors to Chester and Delaware you may find
these to very useful for your research. The lists are on rootsweb so use
the addresses below (just put the word subscribe in your message):

New Castle County, DE:
regular mail mode
digest mode

Cecil County, MD:
regular mail mode
digest mode

Last but by no means least, a special thanks to our wonderful volunteers!
You guys are the best and have made putting these pages together a real joy!

Mary Harris, listowner and county coord., Chester and Delaware Counties, PA
