The New Year is here, Christmas and all of the festivities have been packed carefully away until next December, so what a great time it is to get back to genealogy! IAGenWeb has six wonderful orphan counties (Cherokee, Greene, Guthrie, Lucas, Monroe and Warren) just waiting for you to stop by, take a look around and then pick one to take home with you. Our orphan counties are in need of someone who loves genealogy, enjoys giving and likes sharing with others. If you adopt a county, you will benefit other researchers, join a great team of volunteers, as well as have an experience that's both fun and creative. To learn more about becoming a county coordinator, please read the section in the Volunteer Primer at http://iagenweb.org/state/primer.htm and then if you are still interested in hosting an IAGenWeb county (Cherokee, Greene, Guthrie, Lucas, Monroe or Warren counties) please email us for an application. We'd love to welcome you into our family! Conni Mac and Peggy IAGenWeb Welcome Hostesses welcome_to_iagenweb@iagenweb.org
