Dear Debbie, Your efforts are to be praised, but I have a question - in view of the fact that we already have the USGenWeb Project, with state and county sites for the U.S., why is another similar project necessary? The USGenWeb Project has been a leader in efforts to increase free access to genealogical information over the Internet since April of 1996. Wouldn't it be more productive for those who share this goal to offer assistance to USGenWeb county coordinators, or to offer to adopt counties within that project?
