Adair family researchers, FYI: You can submit your family group sheets to the USGenWeb and/or the Adair and Knox sites. Thought you might like to see the following info from the National level of USGenWeb. Claudia www.rootsweb.com/~moadair Since we started the USFGS Project, about a month ago, we have moved to a new site http://www.rootsweb.com/~usfgs/ We now have all states online & available for use. We made some guidelines: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usfgs/guide.html These also include "guiding lines" for states that wish to make this a special state project. There are now 6 states that have done so already: Arizona, Iowa, Michigan, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Texas (was already a SP before we started). We also have a mail "work" list to ask questions, make suggestions, etc. The submission form coding has been changed a little so that a copy of each fgs that is submitted will be sent back to the submitter. They can then take/submit this to another state (without having to type another). Also they can take it to any county site & submit it there, if they wish. This gives the submitter full control of where there fgs is going, & also gives the CC an opportunity to receive more info for their pages, if they choose to do so. While we can't force documentation, a volunteer created a page "How to Create a Well Documented Group Sheet" http://www.rootsweb.com/~usfgs/newmexico/sources.htm We have 22 fabulous, & enthusiastic volunteers, with one just recently becoming a member of USGenWeb. I tried to work it where every volunteer got at least one state of their choice. There is also a couple of folks on "waiting/wish list". Some of the volunteers have "advertised", & although some have not, the family group sheets come in any way. One volunteer made us a suggestion box (at the moment this is just for the volunteers, as we still have a few kinks here & there) Another volunteer made up a volunteer help page for all of us. A guest book has been set up & many positive things have been written: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usfgs/guestbook/posted_guest.htm We are currently trying to get a search engine that will search all the states. There should be one there this week but not sure if it remain a freebie. At any rate, each state has a search engine on it. We have approximately 11,739 hits on our home page Here is a break down of what each state has so far Alabama--382 fgs, 10,747 hits Alaska--0 fgs, 50 hits Arizona--5 fgs, 558 hits Arkansas--496 fgs, 1,237 hits California--62 fgs, 805 hits Colorado--22 fgs, 451 hits Connecticut--0 fgs, unknown hits Delaware--0 fgs, 1,235 hits District of Columbia--0 fgs, 41 hits Florida--27 fgs, 408 hits Georgia--1614 fgs, 69,046 hits Hawaii--0 fgs, 35 Idaho--1 fgs, 291 hits Illinois--116 fgs, 1,229 hits Indiana--12 fgs, unknown hits Iowa--283 fgs, 4,485 hits Kansas--420 fgs, 4,264 hits Kentucky--94 fgs, 2,132 hits Louisiana--58 fgs, 926 hits Maine--19 fgs, 497 hits Maryland--23 fgs, unknown hits Massachusetts--27 fgs, 555 hits Michigan--205 fgs, 2,408 hits Minnesota--19 fgs, 396 hits Mississippi--31 fgs, 1,576 hits Missouri--105 fgs, unknown hits Montana--2 fgs, 86 htis Nebraska--16 fgs, 230 hits Nevada--about 13 fgs, 201 hits New Hampshire--12 fgs, 342 hits New Jersey--11 fgs, 31 hits New Mexico--16 fgs, 251 hits New York--25 fgs, unknown hits North Carolina--29 fgs, 421 hits North Dakota--2 fgs, unknown hits Ohio--114 fgs, 1,670 hits Oklahoma--61 fgs, 1,753 hits Oregon--14 fgs, 249 hits Pennsylvania--15 fgs, 3,083 hits Rhode Island--0 fgs, 1,236 hits South Carolina--9 fgs, 467 hits South Dakota--7 fgs, 247 hits Tennessee--61 fgs, 866 hits Texas--over 1300 fgs, unknown hits Utah--11 fgs, 1,517 hits Vermont--30 fgs, 790 hits Virginia--1 fgs, 935 hits Washington--0? fgs1,237 hits West Virginia--37 fgs, 708 hits Wisconsin--9 fgs, 215 hits Wyoming--0 fgs, 55 hits Just thought you all would like to know that we've been not only busy, but quite productive!
