I agree about FreeFind. I've used them for years. There are a number of customization options that are offered.

One of our county coordinators shared with us yesterday that Pico is ceasing operations as of July 1, 2014. I highly recommend FreeFind if you're needing to update or add a search engine to your county sites. It's very easy to use and customize. Search engines are a very important tool for researchers.

SC's please forward to your CCs. A few years back David Crosby and I wrote a utility to generate cemetery maps using Google maps. The app was written using Google's v1 API. Google is now up to v3 API. They promised they would maintain compatibility with v1 API, but last week, they pulled the rug out from under v1 and our maps no longer work. David Crosby has written a fix to the Javascript file. If you have our maps on your county web sites, David Crosby has rewritten the javascript file so it is compatible with Google's v3 API. My Marion County, Indiana cemetery map is here: http://usgwarchives.net/in/marion/cemeterymap/countymap.html To fix your map(s), here is what you need to do: 1. Go to http://usgwarchives.net/in/marion/cemeterymap/ and download countymaptt.js (for PCs, right-click on the file name and save it to your computer) 2 Edit your countymap.html Find (your key may be different depending on where it is housed) <script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=1&key=ABQIAAAAh2cCTTmAE6T4OXjecIFe5BQMxb4e6BwgeSB7cBu9SbVQSak6ARTgAPoctbx36BXXgbYZONZls0B1LQ" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="countymap.js"></script> 3. Replace with <script src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="countymaptt.js"></script> 4. Delete your old countymap.js 5. Upload countymaptt.js and your edited countymap.html 6. Check it. Mine required increasing the zoom. Edit your countymap.xml file with a text editor (not a word processor). Zoom is in the second line - increase the number by 3 or 4. Notice that you no longer have to register for an API key!

The server that hosts the USGenWeb Project national pages will be down this evening for a short period of time beginning at 11pm while the operating system is upgraded on its server. The national pages will be unavailable during this time. Tina Vickery National Coordinator USGenWeb Project

Tina, This is my 3rd request to have my email corrected on the State Coordinator's list. Both the LAGenWeb and the NCGenWeb need this changed. http://usgenweb.org/about/statecoordinators.shtml INCORRECT: bjcb@bellsouth.net CORRECT: bjcb.xx@gmail.com Jo

For Florida, you may want to check with Patrice Green, but I believe To Parker should be removed and Laverne Tornow added as ASC. Denise State Coordinator NJGenWeb On Sep 18, 2013, at 11:24 AM, "B.

Hi Tina, I had written to you privately but my message must have been eaten by gremlins. For both the LAGenWeb and the NCGenWeb my email addy is incorrect. The bjcb@bellsouth has been dead for at least a year if not longer. My correct email addy is: bjcb.xx@gmail.com Thanks, Jo

Later today the LAGenWeb.org and LAGenWeb.net and LAGenWeb.com will take you to the new LAGenWeb site.
