Here we are at the end of another great year, Yes, it is December already! Where has the time gone? December brings us Special days (Christmas) and so many wonderful gifts (family, friends and IAGenWeb volunteers just to name a few).  It is a time to remember and reflect on all of the glorious gifts we have been given,  We at IAGenWeb would like to take this time to say a very BIG "Thank You"  to all of you who have been and continue to volunteer your time and efforts of transcribing and contributing to our county projects.  Your 'gifts'  and the gifts of our wonderful volunteer CCs  have truly been a Blessing to IAGenWeb and our researchers through out the year. We hope you will stop by for a visit to our orphan counties and find one that fits your family and contact our great Welcome Hostess  welcome_to_iagenweb@iagenweb.org  for more information on how you can become a county coordinator.  Our orphan counties are: Adams, Carroll, Emmet, Floyd, Greene, Ida, Jackson, Lyon, Mahaska, Mitchell, Montgomery, Pottawattamie, Poweshiek, Sac and Tama. Merry Christmas to All, Cindy & Karon Welcome Hostess' welcome_to_iagenweb.org@iagenweb.org
