WOW! Here we are in the month of November and wanting to know where did the rest of the year go? It is almost time for Thanksgiving and what a wonderful Thanksgiving it will be at IAGenWeb! We have finished up our semi annual review and all of our counties are in great shape. We give Thanks to all of you who volunteer and to those who use IAGenWeb, for the many contributions of time and effort in transcribing records, for the photos, postcards, histories and family lore. Without you we would be a different project.  Thank You one and all for all you do! Please stop by and visit our wonderful orphan projects, I am sure there is one just right for you to become a CC of. We have 19 outstanding counties for you to choose from. Our orphans are: Adams, Calhoun, Carroll, Cerro Gordo, Emmet, Floyd, Franklin, Jackson, Jones, Keokuk, Lyon, Mahaska, Mitchell, Montgomery, Pottawattamie, Poweshiek, Sac, Tama and Worth.  These counties are with out a permanent coordinator and would really like to have someone like you as their coordinator. For more information on how you too can be a Coordinator please email our Welcome Hostess at welcome_to_iagenweb@iagenweb.org and become a part of this great organization known as IAGenWeb! Have A Wonderful Thanksgiving!! Karon & Karyn, Welcome Hostess' welcome_to_iagenweb@iagenweb.org
