I'm sorry to say that the hosting company at Startlogic.com has deleted all the photos that I had uploaded over the years and did not save copies of them. I don't know what I am going to do about it, but all our Gallery photos are gone. Sorry that they are so imcompetent. I wouldn't recommend Startlogic to anyone. They are truly a pathetic excuse for a hosting company. It will take months and months to re-upload all the photos that these idiots deleted.

Just finished the 1850 Russell County Virginia Census Head of Households List of Names so that each links back to the census. It should be much easier to find the household you are researching. Hope it helps someone in their research. These census records are a big help to me. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do... Any corrections or additions will, as always, be greatly appreciated.

Finished all I can do to the 1860 Wise Co VA Census connecting the heads of household to their pages on the site and adding as much information as possible for each one. Working that census was helpful. I learned a lot from it.

Also arranged the 1850 Scott Co VA Census to where you can find the surnames easier and sort through them by the first letter of their surnames. Instead of all the surnames being on one long page, they are now on pages by alphabetical order. Surnames beginning with A are on one page, etc. The 1850 Scott Co VA Census is not connected to the pages on the site, but it can be easily searched.

April 2009

> Added several chapters of "What My Heart Wants to Tell" by Verna Mae Slone. It is a wonderful book. The book can be purchased online at most well known book stores and contains wonderful photos.

> Added Dearest Family from Hazel Potter Thompson.

30 March, 2009: I've put a small memorial tribute online in the format of a Windows Media File on the website where you can view photos of our brother, Archie Potter and his parents, brothers, sisters wife and family. View Archie's Slideshow. The slideshow begins with Archie's parents, Creed Flannery Potter and Sarah Rose Robinson and continues on with photos of Archie in his youth. It continues on with his siblings and his grandmother, Eliza Frances Reynolds Potter and his step-mom, Ida Fuller Potter and continues on with photos of his precious family and loved ones. I used all the photos I could find of Archie and Vera Mullins Potter and their family and friends. If anyone in the family has any photos they would like for me to display, please send them by email to me and I will be so very happy to add them.

29, March 2009: We have lost another precious loved one, our brother, Archie Vincent Potter. Archie Vincent Potter was the son of Creed Flannery Potter and Sarah Rose Robinson. Archie passed away last night at his home in Elkhorn City, Kentucky surrounded by his loving family. He was a precious and wonderful person to all our family and I can't tell you how much we will all miss him. He was a very special, kind, generous and loving person to everyone who knew him. He was a wonderful and devoted husband to his wife, Vera Mullins Potter, who preceded him in death and a wonderful, loving father to his children. He was a beloved brother and precious to all who knew him. I am so saddened by the loss of this precious man. He meant the world to all of us. The funeral will take place tomorrow at Wednesday, 1 April, 2009; 11:00 A.M. at the Polly & Craft Funeral Home in Jenkins, Letcher County, Kentucky; Phone Number - 1-606-832-2191; followed by burial in the Reynolds Family Cemetery, Seco, Letcher County, Kentucky.....

I've also been working on the 1860 Wise Co VA Census adding pages for all those families listed within the census. It is helping with the proof-reading of the census transcription, as well. I hope to finish this census within the next few months. Working the census records affords a great genealogical education. I enjoy them very much. As always, any corrections are greatly appreciated.....Thanks to all, Annette Potter
