Hi gang,
Here is yet another option for handling queries for your county pages. This one will
allow you more control over the process than the Kentucky system, and make it easier to
eliminate or control spam or junk queries. This is the new USGW system, but you are not
required to use it, you may use any query method you desire.
Thanks,

The new USGenWeb/WorldGenWeb query system is ready for your use!
Query Express, the new USGenWeb/WorldGenWeb query system, has been in
beta testing since late March. It is ready for general use. The
system allows you to have your incoming queries sent to your e-mail
address, a mailing list, a temporary web page, or any combination of
the three. It supports CCHELPER format (among many others.) It also
can help index your queries by automatically tagging them for use with
Surname Helper (an indexing program).
If any of this sounds interesting to you, check out the Query Express
site at
http://cgi.rootsweb.com/qexpress/
Query Express is not a bulletin board system - it requires some manual
intervention by the site coordinator. If you are after a bulletin
board approach, I recommend the Kentucky Query System. Hopefully, the
Kentucky Query System and Query Express will work together at some point
in the future. More information about the Kentucky Query System can be
found at

Query Express was hammered out by a committee consisting of (in no particular
order): Megan Zurawicz, Dr. Brian Leverich, Michael Hebert, Mike Gwinn,
Patty Lindsay, Stacy Whitney, Dale Schneider, Barry Zurawicz. The Query
Express program (and all resulting bugs) was written by Stacy Whitney.
Therefore, please direct any questions about the Query Express site or
the program to me, Stacy Whitney, at stacy(a)sands-edge.com.
Thanks,
-Stacy
