Joyce, 
Thank you for organizing and doing all of the work on the tri-county site.  I first began my genealogical search in 1982 and had to get in the car and drive to Tioga Co. from MD to do some research.  I'm very happy to enjoy the fruits of many labor and sit at my computer in DE to do the work.

08 FEB Grover Village is Historic Place
Good Morning Joyce ~  Just HAD to drop you a note after reading the "Grover" article because I think I  have been able to locate the area where  my Smith grandparents and Westcott great-grandparents had a picture taken circa 1898.  The article mentioned an area where people used to have pictures taken, and after chatting with a cousin that lives up out of Forksville, she confirms that is a very good possibility.  Here's a BIG hug!!! and THANKS for all the work you and your Volunteers do to help those of us who have ties to Bradford County, but don't live close enough to do the local research ourselves.   Guila Sikes

10 FEB 1885 - July - Wellsboro Agitator News Clippings - [DR]  priceless little tidbits about the comings and goings of folks back then. One of the first pages to be formatted with the new software [Dreamweaver 8] . I am not fully proficient yet, but am at least functional. Still need to to some tweeking. It's grueling. If you are using old versions of Netscape or other old browsers, you may have trouble. It's time to modernize if we want to move forward.

Some of this month's costs are listed below. If you are not a volunteer helper or contributor of materials and have not donated in the past year or so, please consider helping out with this month's costs to us. How to Donate.

27 FEB PICO Search engine bill due-- $720 for next six months. Yes, we have a Google search box now, but it is not partitioned by category as the PICO is, so it does not take its place or serve the same function. The Google search engine also still has not caught up to all the pages since the site moved.. We still need, and will continue to need,  the PICO, and we still need to pay for it. Thanks.  ALSO - One of the two primary computers has gone kerflooey and needs either major upgrade/parts replacement or total replacement. Several hundred more in either case.  Donations Information
