Cyndy, myself and the remainder of the board have been going thru the state linked ALHN web sites. Almost half have a lot of room for improvement just to make them anywhere near usable. We’ve run across some that were originally posted and nothing else done to them since 2000, 2005 or 2007. There have been no counties adopted, no data added, no copyrights updated.....nothing. For ALHN to become a viable and important part of the genealogical community we have to do better than this. Have some pride in your site and allow ALHN to reflect this pride for you. We do history and genealogy because we love it....lets be the same way with our web sites. If you are the webmaster for a state site please, please upgrade your site. If you need help with it we have volunteers that are in place and waiting to help you bring your site into modern day compliance. ALHN cannot and will not improve without the help of each and every state web site manager...we can’t start anything without your help. This board of directors is determined to yank alhn up out of the muck and mire by it’s boot-straps and anything else we can get hold of. So, you’all might as well get used to it. I recently had some people contact me to volunteer data for a state. When I sent the state coordinator an email to tell them of this donation I got NOTHING. Not even a ‘no thanks’ or ‘kiss my foot’....just got nothing. Is this the future of ALHN? The other states are just fantastic. They look great, are being updated.
