Actually, it is something Sharon and I began doing in 2004 when we first began creating our first alhn web site. Much of the #1 McMinn County, Tennessee web site is thanks to volunteer transcriptions. Something we still practice today. Right now I have a great volunteer who is transcribing McMinn County Road Orders of 1831-1832. I think we have been successful. I might also add to the list - COMMUNICATION and SHARING. Keeping lines of communication and active is of primary importance. As a long time researcher there have been many cases in which I have seen inter-relationships between families and places. IE- southeast Tennessee has a LOT of families whose second generations emigrated to s/e Missouri, Arkansas and Texas....just why do you think the folks with the Texas drawl sound so much like Tennesseans? So if I have information about things concerning Fort Smith, Arkansas, I should be willing to share it with the Arkansas state coordinator who could either use it or send it to the proper county site for use. We should all be doing this. I just offered Rhonda Smith some information I had on Idaho and Montana. All we have to do is keep our eyes open for useable data then pass it on.

Alhn Volunteer. This list is for the purpose of the VOLUNTEERS of ALHN. A way for them to be able to connect and share ALHN Websites and let other volunteers know what areas may need to be Adopted or need help. A social means of communication for the purpose of advancing ALHN. I feel that chatting with other volunteers greatly increases the chance of finding others and also some volunteers may have time to take on another area(s). I am still working on this facebook page.
