Location, location, location! US Gen Web is based
almost entirely on the locations. Locating the area
ancestors may have been in is the key. Be open to the
fact that communities have been renamed, county lines
changed and even state lines have been moved.
Learning about the history of the area can help open
up the correct search areas.

Subject: [STATE-COORD] Your Ideas Are Needed,
USGenWeb!
Dear USGenWeb folks,
Here's another great, easy way that you can help
make USGenWeb's GenTech
booth a great success:
Josh Taylor (God bless him!) is making up some
general USGenWeb
brochures for the convention (in addition to
providing other invaluable
help). One brochure will be "Tips and Information on
Utilizing USGenWeb
to Your Best Advantage" (or some similar, but less
verbose title).
This is where you all come in!
We are in need of ideas for this brochure. Can you
think of some tips,
timesavers, or other information that would enable
our researchers to
get the most out of their visits to USGenWeb sites?
Send your ideas to
D. Joshua Taylor at josh(a)djoshuataylor.com .
Thanks so much for your help! State Coordinators, if
you could forward
this on to your state lists, too, that would be
really helpful.
