Hello, everyone,

Welcome to The GAGenWeb Project blog! Thanks to Roger Nalls, we now have a place to share information and ideas to make us better county coordinators, researchers and Web masters. Hopefully, the blog also will help to foster the friendly atmosphere we strive for within the project.

Enjoy!

All of us who work with the GAGenWeb were saddened by the very sudden death of Ken Johnson on Oct 17, 2006.
Ken was such an integral part of the Archives. The counties that he maintained in Georgia were numerous and we know he helped so many, many researchers along the way.

Ken and Carolyn were a team! In fact, I believe that Carolyn is the reason that Ken became a "file manager". She was already contributing so much data to the Archives, and when more volunteers were requested to help out in an administrative role, Ken volunteered.

He was very conscientious about uploading files and keeping his pages arranged to be helpful to any researcher looking for information on their family. For years he kept the weekly update for "new files" contributed — until the amount of files increased so much, it just didn’t seem feasible for him to spend so much time doing that. His attention to detail was always so obvious.

Ken was so easy to work with and will be missed by all of us. His genealogy work will live on.
