volunteers do a great job also. Thanks everyone |
| Colorado |
This site is well organized
and has a staggering amount of useful information
on it. Just the amount of census data alone
makes it a great site, but there's so much
more. It's astounding that it has not
won before! |
| Bastrop |

on a timely basis; Nominated. No additional
comments.; Nominated. No additional comments.;
Bunny Freeman and Holli Boone Kees have
definitely put together a website that is so full
of information that I look forward to accessing
it every day. I've been tracing my
genealogy for 18 years and have watched the
Internet genealogical sites grow. I'm
so thankful that many of my family members
happened to migrate to Henderson County, Texas
where the information is not only plentiful but
is so expertly arranged. Bunny and Holli have
added numerous newspaper articles where I have
found a vast amount of personal information on my
family that I probably would not have
discovered on my own. My only wish is
that many of the other county websites would use
the Henderson Co., Texas website as a perfect
example in setting up their county
information! It would make the genealogical
searches so much easier! If the Henderson
County website were to win the regional award
maybe more people could see how to set up a
"perfect" website.Nominated. No
additional comments. This site has been a godsend
for finding information about my family.
The dedication to getting
information to us is amazing. It is user
friendly and does not confuse the novice. |
| Coryell |
Great, the best. this is the best
site I have seen |

families that just go together and started
Madison County. It is a good place to live
with an excellent schools and great
healthcare. We are growing daily. My family

A fantastic site! Have
used many, many GenWeb sites, and this is by far
the best! The vital records section
expanded my research tremendously, adding many
exact dates and locations - I have MS and am

good, it would be a breeze! They all

made its way to Henderson Co TX ca 1850.; I
found Henderson's website full of helpful
information. Thanks for a job well done!. |
| Grayson |
Susan Hawkins has created a
site filled with valuable and unique helpful
information. I think I have seen it all and
I keep finding more layers with more info.
Susan has the ultimate patience helping many
newbies who many times do not understand enough
to proceed to those with more experince.
She always adds a new perspective to folks who
have been researching for some time. I look
to many county sites in several states to have
some online info that may help to narrow down my
search. There are few sites that can match
the dept of knowledge they hold and only one that
provides assistence to those of us in need like
Susan does at the Grayson County, Texas website. |
| Bosque |

web pages I have ever visited. They do an

Finest Cemetery Information I

consistent excellence...; I
think the coordinators deserve praise for their
own work as well as mobilizing others to
contribute.; I am able to find out more info on my
family's from Henderson co. than I have in
Cherokee, and Anderson Co. even though my family
has been from Cherokee since the 1840's and I
live in Cherokee county too. But Henderson co.
Has a lot of the census reports, pictures, family
records etc. It is easier to navigate through
than most any other County. And after you send
something in, it is updated more often too.;
Great Site . Keep up the Great Work.; I highly
recommend the Henderson Co. TXGenWeb Project site
to be nominated as County Of The Month.; Best
experience I've had. If all sites were this
easy I'ld know all my ancestors in a day.; Great
site, very informative, neat, and friendly. |
