Greetings to all, A brand new genealogy organization has been formed at Rootsweb! This organization is called the International Internet Genealogical Society or IIGS and membership is open to all who are interested in genealogy worldwide. We hope to link together genealogists and genealogy resources all over the world through this organization. Details about the organization and its mission may be viewed on our web page at....... http://www.rootsweb.com/~iigs We are a totally volunteer organization and would like to extend an invitation to any and all interested "rooters" to come and join us at IIGS!!! You may sign up for the IIGS Mailing List direct from our web page. We have several teams of volunteers working together to make this organization a success worldwide and we need many more of you to help. There are places for all types of talent that are needed ASAP. If you would like to volunteer to help out, whether it is just a little or a lot, or whether you have tons of experience or not, we really want to hear from you!! Some positions which need to be filled as soon as possible are as follows: teachers (for online genealogy classes), translators (all languages), Unix sys administrators, and Global Village Representatives to represent their respective countries throughout the world. There are several teams at IIGS and you may volunteer for any of them. A listing of these teams can be viewed on our web page. Volunteers may send an e-mail with their name, e-mail address, any area(s) for which they would like to volunteer, and any special skills or talents they may possess (although not required), to the following address. tazzycat@earthlink.net Please put Volunteer as the subject of your e-mail to help speed things along!
