"Hobby .... Indeed. Clutter them though she may

with bright colors and silly graphics,

Pam Middleton-Lee's pages are the work of a

serious and talented researcher.

Offering extensive links to archives,

search engines and other genealogy sites,

Pam also entertains and posts visitor queries

about surnames, as well as surnames that she's researching."

" This long and extensive list of genealogy sites

on the Web is a terrific place to begin

for anyone interested in researching

their family's history. We only wish the

author had included his or her name to award them

credit for an excellent job."

MONTICELLO TIMES Online 9/96

A MESSAGE FROM PUBLISHER DONALD Q. SMITH

Since 1857 with the printing of the first newspaper in the territorial town of Monticello, Minnesota, there's been a weekly newspaper here. Most of the distribution of the Monticello Times on Thursdays, and for nearly four decades the Monticello Shopper (now Sundays), has been in the immediate area of our print publications.

Now with our online edition, and our comprehensive Monticello home page, information is also transmitted electronically through the Internet from Monticello, Minnesota, to Monticello, Virginia . . . and even to Montevideo, Uruguay, via the world wide web.

The Times and Shopper are two of the premier publications in east central Minnesota. Our work in news, advertising, photography and opinion has often been recognized by the Minnesota Newspaper Association and the National Newspaper Association. The same professional quality and community service we have brought to our print publications we now commit to MONTICELLO TIMES Online.

GENEALOGY IS MY HOBBY

Reader's Choice HotSpots, Vol # 7 &Vol # 8 & Vol # 9

"Inspiration comes in many forms, most forms are animate but others are inanimate. This is the way however, that most of us survive and make it day to day -- through the inspiration of other people and their work.

Of course, I am speaking on behalf of Pam Middleton Lee, who has been a constant source of inspiration for myself and many others engaged in uncovering and exploring their families over the ages, while also attempting to publish on-line genealogy web pages.

Pam has been the one to set the community "benchmark" for those of us attempting to construct that on-line genealogical presence through the world wide web. Most of us look to her often for ideas, information and support, which she willingly and generously supplies without hesitancy. As a role model for the web personalities, she cannot be surpassed. But, as the pace setter and peer leader, she is truly indispensable. Her networking skills accentuate an effervescent and warm demeanor, which attracts and impresses even the stiffest spectator.

One need only access her excellent Homepage on the Web to see the creative and inspirational work which she has amassed and developed -- the site is clearly the best model for us to follow and emulate. It is because of her commitment, dedication and energy, that I personally continue to pursue a vision of an on-line genealogy website which I know firsthand will create many hours of hard work and attending efforts for me. I do also know that along with those efforts will come much joy and fulfillment. That is what Pam has demonstrated and shared with us all. She has taught us the value of hard work, giving and sharing with others, and that the karma energized as a result of that reaps inward rewards that cannot be measured or expressed easily."
