Hi Folks, We are currently trying to inventory our counties to see if the folks who host them have slipped under our radar. We aren't having any major problems but have discovered that a few counties have been left alone for some time. Often times, the county coordinators have taken on more than they can handle and the entire Project suffers. The genealogical public that seeks our help is the ultimate victim. Several abandoned counties have been assigned to a helper who has been getting them back up-to-speed before turning them over to a qualified volunteer. Very few problems exist at the present time and we are in a building mode. We need to determine where we stand on Archives, Census and Special Projects. Volunteers deserve as much help as they need. We need to be able to provide these resources--or at least have support pages to go to. I am not subbed to the NCGENWEB-DISCUSS at my own request. If you have a communication to addres to me, please use my posted address < nc@usgenweb.org > Thanks to all the volunteers for doing such a great job. I think the vast majority of your pages really show how much you care. Let's all strive for continued excellence. Many have already achieved it. Let's try to help other CCs, where our help is welcome, and interact so everyone knows the other members of the family. Derick S.
