Good evening ALDALLAS, ALMARENG and ALWILCOX subscribers, [Forgive the x-posting but I'm posting this on my three county lists before I put a call out on ALABAMA-L and beyond. An earlier request on ALMARENG-L for a Marengo County assistant resulted in no takers. I have thoroughly enjoyed hosting the Dallas, Marengo and Wilcox websites for the ALGenWeb Project. I'm the original host of the Dallas and Wilcox pages. I put those online in mid to late 1996 so it's been almost three years for both and I took over Marengo County in early 1998, a little over a year ago. But as the interest in genealogy has gone "through the roof" and the USGenWeb Project (of which the ALGenWeb Project is a part) has become better known, the workload has gotten heavier. I can't do it alone any more, keep up with my other genealogy projects, do personal research, and still have a life <bg>. AND, I think these counties could use some "new blood" and a fresh perspective. There's so much more that needs to be done. So . . .] I need assistants (one per county) to help with the Dallas, Marengo and Wilcox County webpages and the ALDALLAS, ALMARENG and ALWILCOX lists. In the case of Marengo County, the new assistant must be willing to take over the website and mail list after an initiation period. The only requirements for the jobs are knowledge of and an interest in Dallas, Marengo or Wilcox County genealogy and history (a county or nearby resident would be ideal), some basic html and ftp skills, and time, time, and more time. Main duties: answering queries, maintaining a dedicated query board and surname list, posting queries and surnames in a timely manner, locating online and offline county resources, transcribing county records, maintaining and updating the ALGenWeb county webpages, subscribing to and monitoring required USGenWeb mail lists, and administering the associated mail lists including finding and x-posting relevant messages from other lists.
