Hello to all the Wisconsin County Coordinators.
This list is for county coordinators to communicated with each other. If you
are not a CC and on this list, or are receiving duplicates due to 2 different
e-mail addresses please let me know.
I've visited many of the county pages already and will be visiting the rest in
the next few days and have to say that Wisconsin is looking good. There are a
few pages that still have Robin's e-mail as State Coordinator. Please change
this to my e-mail address. (Fortunately Robin has remained on as assistant SC
and can forward any mail on to me).
I would like the following CCs to send me your names. For some I have only
first names, while for others I have no name, only an e-mail. I find it much
nicer to correspond with people instead of addresses.
Burnett, Calmuet, Dane, Iowa, Jackson, Outagamie, Rock, Sheboygan, Waupaca
Are all of you aware of the GenConnect system for queries, biographies and
obituaries? Using this system allows the visitor to post queries, bios and
obits to the appropriate forums automatically. The system has been updated to
allow CCs to edit, delete inappropriate queries, and change bio and obit
boards to read only. Twenty Wisconsin counties are using GenConnect for
queries, 12 for obits and 11 for biographies. Take a look, this might make
your job easier.

Only 23 counties have accepted RootsWeb offer to have free mailing lists for
each county. Being a list owner is not hard, and gives you the opportunity to
talk to some people who are never visited the county page, but have subscribed
to the mailing list.

This last site is helpful to find "dead" links. It will search the first 25
links on each page you submit and let you know if a link isn't working.

That's all for now. Keep up the good job!
