Hello Iowa researchers, Our IAGenWeb Special Projects have just been reviewed to see if they meet the requirements we've set for their sites, and they all passed with appreciative, glowing comments from the reviewers. Congratulations to the coordinators--and to you!--for the rich variety of material they're making available. The Special Projects are designed to put online genealogical information that transcends county boundaries, e.g., Iowa in the Civil War, The Gravestone Photo Project, or The History Project. You can read a bit about the Special Projects and find links to them at http://iagenweb.org/state/archives.php. In addition to IAGenWeb's Special Projects, you'll also find links to the Iowa material in USGenWeb Special Projects. I hope you'll take the time to browse the websites to see what they offer. You may discover something that enriches your family history. And you may find that you have something to contribute. :) Greta Thompson IAGenWeb ASC bluebear@new.rr.com
