Who Was That Person?

Finally finished the blackboard section of the site — well almost finished I guess. It needs some beta-testing to make sure it works as planned — so go post some messages if you have any interest in Erie County! Free members can post messages to the blackboards, so there is no excuse not to to it.

The only part that is still lacking is the ability to edit earlier messages. That is not too important until there are actually some earlier messages to edit. It will get done over time.

Paid subscribers do have one advantage when posting to the blackboards, they may post links to other sites, and they may put photographs in their posts. Since paid subscription is only $10 per YEAR I’m sure any serious genealogist with an interest in the county will join, to take advantage of those (and other) benefits.

Managed to add a little over one thousand more individual listings this week too, which brings our total so far over 12,000.

Here is our summary of data entry progress for the past week:
