We have chosen to join a grassroots movement to protect and preserve our family histories for our nation and the generations to come. In doing so we are now subject to those "laws" which govern public groups. Guidelines are necessary for clarifying expectations, both before an individual becomes a volunteer and once they are already in place as a County Coordinator.

Web Page GUIDELINES:

Each MIGenWeb county site is REQUIRED to have all of the following:

• USGenWeb logo (on main page) Image Catalog.

 

• A link to the USGenWeb homepage (on main page)
  <a href="http://www.usgenweb.org/">USGenWeb</a> Any red links you can copy the coding.

 

• A MIGenWeb logo (on main page) Image Catalog

 

• A link to the MIGenWeb homepage (on main page)
  <a href="http://www.migenweb.net/index.html">MIGenWeb</a>

 

• An e-mail link to the MI State Coordinator (on main page)
  <a href="mailto:statecoordinator@migenweb.com">Jan Cortez</a>

 

• The only acceptable method of writing the names in reference to the USGenWeb project and/or MIGenWeb project pages is: USGenWeb (where CAPITAL letters are used on the U, S, G and W and lowercase letters are used on the e, n, e, and b.) MIGenWeb (where CAPITAL letters are used on the M, I, G and W and lowercase letters are used on the e, n, e, and b.)

 

• A place to ‘post’ queries.
  • This can be handled with an email link to you and posted manually on your county site or by using some sort of form if you have the resources. County sites on the migenweb.net server do have form capabilities. Contact Pat Hamp (above) for details. Another option is a link to the Rootsweb Message Boards for your county. 

 

• A link to the your County's Archive page which is part of the MIGenWeb Archives Project.

 

• A surname page:  Most of the programs for query management will also handle surnames such as Query Management Page.

 

• A link to the "Disclaimer Page" which has the one paragraph description of the goal of USGenWeb as well as USGenWeb links
  <a href="http://www.migenweb.net/officialnotices.htm">"Disclaimer Page"</a>

 

• A County resource with lists of ways and places people can do research for the county and lookups page.  See Example
