You all know I have been in the process of evaluating counties whose coordinators have been missing in action. This month I will be announcing several more counties that will become adoptable. Of that group, I have chosen to appoint myself the coordinator of the county that seems to have the least to offer visiting researchers at this time - Madison County. I will be working to build up the value of the Madison County website, but will be open to stepping aside for an enthusiastic volunteer who has a stronger personal connection with the county or other motivation to turn it from what looks to me like the "poorest cousin" in IDGENWEB at present, to something of real value to researchers. I will be taking on Madison County effective immediately, after having received no response to attempted contacts with the former coordinator, including roll calls, and finding that nothing has been done there for many years. I invite and encourage you all to speak up if you ever feel I am stepping out of line in any of my State Coordinator actions. My only desire is to make this project more useful to the researchers and more rewarding to the coordinators. I greatly appreciate the many of you who are actively working on your websites. Thank you for your efforts. Do let me know if there is anything I can do to help you. Mike St. Clair
