Hello, me again.
As long as I have your attention there are a couple more things. I have
recently added all of my counties to the GenConnect query system. The
advantages are many. The surnames are included in a national, searchable
database, the Surname Helper Project indexes all GenConnect boards
automatically, and I don't have to add queries to a web page by hand any
more. (yeah) I added all the old queries first thing.
It was so easy to set the boards up I also got GenConnect boards for all
the orphan counties. The system sends me a copy of every message posted. If
any query is posted that is inappropriate or in the wrong place, it takes
me about a minute to delete it. All the boards say queries that don't
belong will be deleted without notice.
I recommend the system to everyone. If you need help setting up a board for
your county I'll be glad to help. The page to activate a new query board is
at
http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/AdminCenter/activate.html
You can find the list of Idaho counties in the system at
http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/indx/Id.html and the main page at
http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/
The list of IDGenWeb County Coordinators I sent all of you a couple of
months ago is out of date. I'll send a new list in a separate message.
