Just an idea I am throwing out there. What if we could get USGenWeb to move their stuff to this wiki. I think it would be the perfect forum for it. It is a collection of researchers adding information to a certain subject. It would certainly add to our location information. I have no idea if they would be interested though I think most of the county sites are independent. Dunno if the powers that be think it would be a good idea or even practical but there it is. - [[User:Elrondlair|William Allen Shade]] 18:59, 11 July 2009 (UTC) |

| + | :It is a good idea. Whenever we have a link from a locality page to its [[GenWeb]] page, one of us can write to them and invite them. I did with the [[NSW]] group. But their group site is still hosted by RootsWeb, which doesn't allow competitors to "advertise". — [[User:Robin Patterson|Robin Patterson]] [[User talk:Robin Patterson|(Talk)]] 02:12, 12 July 2009 (UTC) |
