<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1505759770483_25273">My interest is in Oregon is its history. I am the State Coordinator for the ORGenWeb project, it is part of a national group of volunteers who provide free genealogy web sites. In Oregon, we are mostly county orientated. Many states have city & county,
along with a state page that offers links to more generic information. I always feel bad using my email lists to solicit information for my state or county sites. So, that is why I don't respond much.</div>

in the way, I'll start posting the "out-law" side of my marriage... </div>

Folks have been mentioning for the last few days they aren't receiving<br clear="none">
any posts.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I would suggest that it is because there haven't been many.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
In the past I have posted on a fairly regular basis either a question<br clear="none">
relevant to Oregon or on occasion I have taken advantage of Layne's<br clear="none">
good nature and asked for help on things usually from adjacent states.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I have not had a lot of time for some while now for genealogy and then<br clear="none">
there was a period when I was unable to post or at least my posts did<br clear="none">
not show up in my yahoo account. For some reason when Layne and I<br clear="none">
finally got me able to post by adding my gmail account to Or roots I<br clear="none">
now receive everything in both accounts even though the Yahoo account<br clear="none">
supposedly was removed. Ironically for a while I could post in either<br clear="none">
account and it only showed up in the other account. I attribute this<br clear="none">
to technology not liking me. My son is pretty sure it is a PEBKAC<br clear="none">
situation;<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
OKAY; strike that last bit, posted this and another post from Yahoo<br clear="none">
and they just disappeared into the ether, so will try gmail.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I get very annoyed when I do something exactly right three times on my<br clear="none">
puter and do not get the correct result then he punches in the same<br clear="none">
command and gets the correct result, again he is sure it is as stated<br clear="none">
above.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
But I digress; One of the sad reasons our list has become<br clear="none">
significantly less active is we lost a number of the people who were<br clear="none">
most active on the list and some of the rest were in failing health<br clear="none">
last I heard. That is unfortunately kind of a universal trend. My<br clear="none">
girlfriend and I recently joined the Eagles and now we find that we<br clear="none">
are invited to attend a meeting to determine if the local Aerie will<br clear="none">
continue to function. As with fraternal organizations the impetus to<br clear="none">
pursuing genealogy is fading I believe. There are still some new<br clear="none">
folks interested but the numbers who are too busy to continue and the<br clear="none">
attrition rate on those of us in our later years seems to be thinning<br clear="none">
the ranks.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I know that the few posts I HAVE made in the past year or so since I<br clear="none">
was able to post again have not received much if any response where in<br clear="none">
the past at least four of five would have a suggestion or an answer, I<br clear="none">
have been lucky if I got more than one response.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Just for the sake of argument I will post a query separate from this<br clear="none">
on my current family page and lets see what kind of response I get.<br clear="none">
