Hi Listers, The USGenWeb project has a new search engine that may help you find those sneaky relatives that go back and forth across the border from New Brunswick to the US. Here's the write up on the project. As of today there's only 5 states NOT indexed: California, Kentucky, Ohio,Tennessee and West Virginia and they're in the works! Good luck, Marilyn New Page Created to Search USGenWeb Daryl Lytton, involved with the original USGenWeb founders and the USGenWeb Newsletter Assistant Editor, has recently launched a new page for searching the state sites on USGenWeb.com. I e-mailed Daryl about the project and these are his words on the huge undertaking: "The scope of the project is to, for the first time in the ten-year history of the USGenWeb Project, make available for researchers the capability to search all USGenWeb states, State Special Projects, counties within the states (and where available cities within the counties), and USGenWeb Special Projects excluding the Archives and Archives Sub-Projects because they are all hosted by RootsWeb and have their own search capabilities. We do have links to the USGenWeb Archives search, and to the two USGenWeb Census Projects searches, so that the Search Us homepage can be a one-stop shop for researchers wanting to search the USGenWeb." The thirteen original states, plus Alaska and Hawaii (the last two), and the USGenWeb Special Projects have all been indexed and, according to Daryl,(Feb 2007) the goal is to have the rest of the states done by May, if not sooner. After that, the goal is to enable a USGenWeb- wide search. With these new searching capabilities, even Daryl says he has been able to find information on his family that eluded him before. More volunteers are always needed to help with the project. If you're interested, contact UsGenWeb at Comments@USGenWeb-Search.Us. Good work Daryl and team! http://www.usgenweb-search.us/ Previously published in RootsWeb Review: 14 February 2007, Vol. 10, No. 7.

Remember that USGenWeb and Canada GenWeb are totally independent and will still need to be searched separately. This is an exciting project for all of us. It also helps to remember that Quebec and New Brunswick are also close and many of the Scots, English, German, and Irish thought it very special to travel to the English speaking parts of Quebec to get married, especially if there was no church nearby.
