Adopt Me
After many years; other interests have taken over. Please contact the State Coordinator Joy Fisher or the Assistant State Coordinator Fred Dethlefsen about adopting this or any of my other sites.
You can visit the SDGenWeb Adoption Page (https://sites.rootsweb.com/~sdgenweb/adopt/adopt.html) to learn of any specific requirements.
My goal is to have this site dismanteled and off the air by Juanuary 2002. I will assist the new host with the transfer of any/all information they care to keep. Some info may be uploaded to the archives.
It's been fun - Darrell R. Fransen
