Sam-Quito. Thank you for forwarding the message. I put a link to the New Mexico ftp folder on the home page of NMGenWeb. This page has links to each of the counties in NMGenWeb. If the CCs choose to link to it for their specific counties, I would be happy to assist them in finding the URLs, if needed. It makes sense to me to make CCs aware that the links exist and contain useful information. We have not been in the habit of mandating how CCs set up their Web sites here in New Mexico beyond the very basic requirements. At this point, it is the CCs' choice whether they place a link to the New Mexico archives on their Web sites. While it's a good thing to have on our county pages, and I would encourage CCs to consider it, I will not demand it. Thank you for asking.
