Freddie when was the last time you download the FTP sites for all the
counties, you can work from those to get the sites back up.

Oh, I have a lot of statewide things in my stack to transcribe for the
USGenweb Archives (I'm the State File Manager for VA, there are other
coordinators as well who may also double on this list) - if there's any
priority, I'd be happy to rearrange the order of my items!
I also second having county coordinators utilize the archives, because I've
found, managing counties on both sides, that I actually get very different
viewers - and the difference in viewers means that one worked transcription
could be hitting double the researchers.

this
may be an opportunity for all of us to show we really care about the
USGenWeb and our desire to not only help others but to encourage them
to do the same. If we all tried to find just one thing to post to the
sites, we could soon have them in shape so that anyone would be happy
to adopt them and continue the work.
As I said, I am physically unable to take any of the counties because I
stay in the hospital more than I stay out these days. However, I will
take a look at the sites and start trying to get them back online if no
one
wants any given one at the moment. In the meantime, if anyone has
anything for any of the counties, please send to me and I will get it
posted and give proper credit to the contributor. We all know how to
do research and it would not take a lot of time for each of us to
transcribe at least one item to contribute.
