Recently, the subject of City/Town Coordinator popped up. I think the time has come to support and implement this concept. As a New England genealogist, I know that town history can be equally as important as surname tracing. The City of Conover, NC http://www.rootsweb.com/~nccatawb/conover.htm continues to act as a cheer-leader for our local city government and as a source of historical reference. I hope to see several towns in Catawba County become a part of the Catawba County NCGenWeb Project -- Maiden, Newton, Hickory, and others. Volunteers and contributors are eagerly sought. Here's an opportunity for each County Coordinator to determine what localities are deserving of a page of their own. The originators of this Project and the goals they expressed surely encompassed this concept of genealogical networking. I have met a great many folks on the web who are absolutely devoted to sharing their knowledge. Genealogically speaking, there is perhaps no higher calling. I know that for them, this will be a popular focus for our Project. In addition to localities, there are other opportunities. Black/African American genealogy, prominent ethnic groups, churches, fraternal and lineage groups. I am proposing that we encourage the association of these entities which would provide "One-Stop genealogical shopping" within a local County page. Submitted, Derick S.
