  7. I Set up the Glengarry Genealogical Society in Dec. 1974 and ran it until Dec. 1994 when it was shut down due to a lack of everything needed to keep it going.

  8. Put up a web site from scratch in Dec. 1997 which was built up to over 15 megs of information mostly from our own files, and which got more than 57,032 total hits by the time is was taken off line, July 23.1999, while I was the Initial Official Ontario GenWeb Host for the counties of Glengarry, Stormont & Prescott and for the Counties of Soulanges & Vaudreuil for the Quebec GenWeb. I later reorganized and some pages have put back on line.
