I first became interested in genealogy when my aunt published two books on my mother's family lines in the mid 1970s. I got serious about it when I logged on (via dial-up modem!) to Prodigy - the first online service with a graphical interface. One holiday weekend, probably about 1987, I logged into their genealogy forum. Looking at some of the posts, I found that my ancestors and my husband's ancestors knew each other in the 1700s. This later turned out not to be true, but it was interesting. I posted a query and quickly got an answer. Then another. Many of us stayed up most of the night chatting back and forth on dial up internet. I had found new friends and new interests and thought that Prodigy genealogy was always this exciting. Later I found out the reason it was so busy that night was that forum had been given free access for the night. It was not always that busy because it usually cost too much. But I was hooked!

It has been a couple of weeks since we contacted you about your participation in the Southern Colonies Project. As we haven't heard from you, we are following up to make sure you wish to remain a member.
We understand that interests shift as we grow our shared tree and that some members may have moved on to projects more pertinent to their ancestors. If this is the case for you, please let us know.
If we do not hear back from you within the week, we will assume you have moved on to other things for the moment and remove you from the project. Please know that you will always be welcome to rejoin should your interests shift back in this direction.
Thank you so much for your participation; we genuinely appreciate it.
