USGenWeb in the News . . .
USGenWeb gets some very positive press in Nancy
Hendrickson's article, "The Web's Greatest Hits" in the
February 2005 issue of Family Tree Magazine:
USGenWeb <
www.usgenweb.org> If American genealogy
were a swanky hotel, USGenWeb would surely occupy
the presidential suite. The free, all-volunteer
Web site houses marriage, obituary and tombstone
transcriptions; church records; census images; and
much more. You can search all these resources by
clicking the links under Search Engines on the
home page. In 2000, the Special Collections
Projects (Click on Projects) started, with scanned
images of out-of-print books journals, family
letters, and photographs. The heart of USGenWeb
though, is the network of state, county-level
pages that allow researchers to post queries and
connect with anyone climbing the same family tree
or prowling the same locales. As reader Phyllis
Stehm explains, "You can't beat the USGenWeb for
finding people in an area who really know it and
can help you with possible sources to check."
Congratulations to each and every USGenWeb volunteer!
Your dedication to the concept of free-access, grass-
roots, online genealogy has given The USGenWeb Project a
wonderful reputation as The Place to Go for free
information and advice from friendly, knowledgeable,
neighborly people. We should all be very proud of what
we've accomplished so far, and excited about what we
look forward to accomplishing in the future.
