I would like to add my congratulations to all of the counties recognized, but as MEGenWeb Web Project ASC, I would like to offer special congrats to Maine's own Abby. She not only does the TXGenWeb Project proud, but has a wonderful site in Maine http://www.rootsweb.com/~mesomers/. Congrats Abby! You have worked hard and deserve the recognition!
