Subscription Information * * * * * About the WorldGenWeb Review e-zine The WorldGenWeb Review e-zine was created to keep the visitors and friends of the WorldGenWeb Project informed about what is happening in the WorldGenWeb Project. We will be providing helpful information on a periodic basis on how to utilize the WorldGenWeb Project, as well what resources are available to assist you in your research. * * * * * What is the WorldGenWeb Project? That may seem like an odd question, but it is one that we hear from time to time. The WorldGenWeb is a non-profit volunteer organization, dedicated to the free use and access of public domain genealogical information. To further this goal, the WorldGenWeb uses Internet Web sites to create "local repositories" of information accessible by researchers worldwide. Each Project Web site (generally) will contain local resource addresses of county/country public records offices, cemetery locations, maps, library addresses, archive addresses, and association addresses including Family History Centers, or other genealogical or historical societies, and some history and culture of the region. Other resources include query pages or message boards, mail lists, historical data including census records, cemetery records, biographies, bibliographies, and family/surname registration Web sites. To answer other questions you may have about the WorldGenWeb Project, please visit our Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) page. http://www.worldgenweb.org/faq.html * * * * * Latest News from the WorldGenWeb Project 1 August 2007 - Colleen Clements has been appointed as the Regional Coordinator for EastEuropeGenWeb. http://www.rootsweb.com/~easeurgw/ 1 August 2007 - Nathan Zipfel has been appointed as the Regional Coordinator for the BritishIslesGenWeb following the retirement of Jan Cortez.

Argentina Armenia Belarus Belize Colombia Findland Hungary Korea - South Maldova Poland Russia The following countries have a brand new website on-line Algeria Angola Bailiwick of Guernsey Bailiwick of Jersey Benin Botswana Burkina Faso Burundi Cameroon Central African Republic Korea - North Maldives Mongolia Netherlands * * * * * Help Wanted If you're like me, you may have visited one of our Regional Web sites and said to yourself: "I wish there was a Web site for this country," or "I wish someone would update this country Web site." At last count there are 171 country Web sites on-line. Of those country Web sites, 63 of them currently do not have a coordinator. Additionally, there are 75 countries that need to have a Web site developed. As you can see, there are a large number of countries that could use a coordinator. Won't you consider adopting one of the orphan countries? If you'd be interested in adopting or learning more about adopting a country Web site, please contact the Regional Coordinator for the region that country is in. Maybe you'd like to lend a hand, but not necessarily taking on a country full-time. Would you consider helping us develop Web sites for all 246 countries? Please contact Nathan Zipfel to adopt a country or volunteer in some other way. * * * * * Query and Surname Listings The WorldGenWeb Project does not host a centralized tool for the submission of Queries and Surnames. Our Country and sub-country Project Hosts maintain methods and links to various message board systems for you to post your queries and surnames.
