Hi to All on List(s), The link to USGenWeb, http://www.usgenweb.com/ (that most of you will recognize) has two very useful features on the Special Projects Page that could be very helpful to new genealogy researchers using the web. On the USGenWeb page scroll down and select Special Projects on the next page select Search Option and a page pops up where you can enter among other things, a surname and click on the state you wish to search in and the system will return all the files for the state selected that contains your surname entry, you can scroll through the list of files, open them and/or down load them. You can also enter a County name, select a state and will be returned a list of all files with that county name in them. The page has a good explanation about how to search other ways also. Again on the Special Projects page is an option for Military Records Project, that leads to a page listing all the major US Wars and clicking on one of them will give you a list of files with information on the specific war you selected and useful links to other military information sites. Under the Indian Wars are also links to information on Native American records. I apologize to those of you who are, as I am, on several mail lists for duplicates you will receive. Since I have never seen these options mentioned I would like to reach as many new researchers as possible. This is just one among many wonderful search sites on the web. emo
