Random Acts of Genealogy Kindness (RAOGK) will be Offline for Some Time

RAOGK has been around with our volunteers helping other genealogists get copies of documents required to prove your lineage back to Adam and Eve (giggle). Pictures of your ancestors' tombstones were also high on the lists of requests. I hope everyone got as much service as we were able to give.

Our heart is saddened that we will be offline for quite awhile. Between computer problems (harddrive turning to toast) and the health of the administrator very questionable ... RAOGK, after 11 years, will cease to exist for awhile.

Bridgett Schneider, RAOGK Administrator

This service has been an excellent research source for genealogists worldwide. To help ease the pain WCGS is posting contact information of any member that has been doing research for RAOGK. If you would like your name and information listed, please contact me at deb.ketchum@walworthcgs.com. Deb
