It was a busy and exciting week of discovery after I unveiled the Pre-1830 Henry County Pioneers Wiki/website on the Henry County RootsWeb message board last week. I appreciate everyone who joined the website and is helping make it better and more comprehensive.

Since last Saturday:

++ Twelve new members joined the Wiki.

++ The website helped one new member break through a brick wall. How wonderful that must feel.

++ A new member posted a picture of Alexander C. Gordon. I would never have imagined that I would see the face of a pre-1830 pioneer!

++ A new member identified an additional primary source of pre-1830 pioneers and information. Who would have expected to find early estate records for the years 1822 – 1836 “hidden” in the middle of Orphan Book C that begins with 1837?

++ Three new pioneers (Margaret Gamble, William Starling, and Elias Strickland) were added to the website and a lot of new information added for several other pioneers.

Come take a look and join if you’d to like contribute -> http://henrycountyalabama.wetpaint.com/
