Hi All,

I've been slowly but surely adding to the Humboldt County website and
thought I would give an overview of recent additions and solicit
suggestions. The main page is here:

http://www.qworld.net/humboldt/index.html

I have recently added a page for "Humboldts" all over -- there three
Humboldt Counties in the US altogether, and a myriad of Humboldts (of
varying sizes) in general. These are all listed and linked to at:
http://www.qworld.net/humboldt/humboldt.html (I don't know how useful it is,
but I figured I'd throw it in there)

I added a sitemap that lists all of the pieces and parts of the Humboldt
County site: http://www.qworld.net/humboldt/sitemap.html

I added the Rootsweb SSDI to the website with a page of explanation on using
the SSDI: http://www.qworld.net/humboldt/ssdi.html

My work in serious progress is Humboldt County Placenames:
http://www.qworld.net/humboldt/placenames.html I'm through "E" right now.
These pages feature a descriptions, any relevant links, and with the help of
Expedia & USGS, maps to the locations. I decided on Expedia as the primary
mapper since USGS seems to be having growing pains lately and is down a lot.
I recently purchased digital topo maps for all of Humboldt County and am
hoping to do maps for specific locations such as churches, schools, etc.
After living there for 10 years, I'm constantly surprised at what I *don't*
know.

Also, as the California Census Project Coordinator, there are transcription
projects galore that would be of terrific benefit to researchers. If you
have old California county history books, biographies, bible records, obits,
etc... and have time to transcribe, the entire project would be highly
grateful for your contributions. We could also use a few more state
coordinators. The committment is listed here:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/census/sc/sc-duties.htm and a list of
coordinators needed is listed here:

Thanks!

Kelly
