This website they mention does the same thing with Idaho. All out county
sites are linked to but USGenWeb & IDGenWeb are not mentioned anywhere.
Some of the links are out of date. There are other sites out there who like
to link to our work without giving us credit. It wouldn't be a bad idea to
identify every page on your county site as a USGenWeb site with a link back
to your main county page.

I'm not sure, but I think it may be the same site that I contacted two
or three years ago, asking that they give credit to our sites that they
were linking to. I never received an answer. I had received a complaint
about a cemetery link that did not say where the link was going to take
people. The CC was concerned that it looked like that site was providing
the cemetery index themselves. The Nebraska page there has no mention of
NEGenWeb or USGenWeb, yet it has links to all of our county sites, plus
links to many subpages on our state and county sites. The problem is
that some of the links are really out-of-date.
After that experience, I've tried to get all our cc's to make sure that
they have a link to their main page from all subpages, so that people
will know where they are when they end up on a subpage.
