Hello,
In the November-December issue of Everton's Genealogical Helper there is an
article on "1998 'Top Twenty' Websites. There are twenty categories and
twenty sites listed in alphabetical order under each category.
In part the article says that this is not their way of handing out "awards."
"Rather, they are our way of recognizing the sites on each list, and hoping
that serious genealogical researchers will recognize the value and efforts
of those who created these websites.
"The sites chose in this inaugural set of lists were chosen because each of
them contains something unique to offer family history researchers."
In the "Census" category, one of the twenty sites honored was the
School Census of Students, Arline, Wash. 1911

contributed to the Pierce County section of the Washington GenWeb Archives
by Cherie Kuranko.
Congratulations to Cherie and to the WA GenWeb Archives for this honor, and
thanks to Cyndi's List, which is probably where the compilers of this
article found a link to this data.
Thank you,
