March 19, 2008: The biggest news is that the Marion Co site has a new home! Please update your bookmarks (favorites) with our new address - http://www.argenweb.net/marion The Marion Co site had been on RootsWeb for about 11 years so moving is no easy chore. While we're moving we're also do some long overdue housekeeping which means that if you have certain places within the site bookmarked you may find the links broken, if you do go to the main page and follow the link from there. In fact, for awhile you may find broken links anywhere within the site. If you do please let me know so I can fix them. Our new host server has many things that RootsWeb didn't offer and we will taking advantage of some of them. That means the look and feel of the site will be evolving for the next few months. Drop back by, off and then, to see what's new. Thank you so much for your patience while we're moving.
