Greetings everyone. The list administrator has kindly allowed me to make this announcement. The Ireland Genealogy Projects has several county webpages that need dedicated County Coordinators. Visit the main IGP homepage at http://irelandgenealogyprojects.rootsweb.com/ The available county pages are: County Dublin, http://www.rootsweb.com/~irldubli/ This is my baby, but I have too many other websites. County Fermanagh http://www.rootsweb.com/~nirfer2/ This is a beautifully and fully developed website. Very special. County Meath http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlmea2/ This is a starter page, but we have material to develop. County Tyrone http://www.rootsweb.com/~nirtyr3/ This is my baby, but I have too many other websites. County Wicklow http://www.rootsweb.com/~irllog2/ This is a good start, but needs more TLC. County Carlow http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlcar2/ A jewel, but too much to handle. Some of these county pages also have mailing lists and query boards. As a matter of policy we like to have experienced coordinators who live in Ireland. We like egg in our beer too<grin> But certainly next best, and most of us fit this category, we live in the United States, but have Irish ancestors. In looking for those ancestors we belong to many mailing lists, and in time we learn where to look in Ireland for records. Most important, we love what we do, and often volunteer to do more than we can easily handle. SO, anyone on this list with ancestors from one or more of these counties, know how to use ftp or front page, and love to build beautiful websites, collecting, compiling and building unique databases. Eventually, next year, we want to build a search engine that will search all of the databases as if they were one database. If you are interested in managing one of the webpages, and want to work with the finest team in Ireland, and help build the best genealogy project in Ireland, please contact me and I'll get you started with a buddy tutor or welcome hostess. Thanks all for reading this announcement.....and a big thanks to our mailing list admin.. Donald O'Collaugh Kelly, National Coordinator, Ireland genealogy Projects.
