Fannin	Never before I have seen such good work on a county. It is viewer friendly, and seems to be very well maintained. Thank you!
Fannin	Suzie has taken a very good site, added new levels of organization, pulled in lots of volunteers, and has produced a dynamic site that is worth viewing over and over.
Fannin	Suzie Henderson has gone above and beyond researching, gathering, and sharing information. Her work on documenting the cemeteries of the county with photos, obits, and death certificates is outstanding.

Fannin	No comment, nomination only.
Fannin	I love the new look. It is easy to use and provides so much information. I can email the webmaster and get help with so many questions. I live in Seattle Washington and cannot come to the locale so this interaction is very important for my research.

March

Palo Pinto	I really appreciated the number and variety of sources and the layout of the site.
Fannin	For the past 5 years I have been researching my family tree. This adventure has taken me to multiple counties in Tennessee, Arkansas, Illinois, California, Colorado, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. Of all the county genealogical web sites that I have visited the new Fannin County Texas web site is by far the best....
Llano	I cannot express how much "Deb" has helped me! This should be a "Decade" nomination for her instead of month! I have been looking for this information since the 1970's and on ancestry.com for 3 years! She sent me 85 pages in one packet and 15 others in another. She was prompt, efficient, courteous and without a doubt extremely talented in her field. I am researching my family roots in Llano County and trying to prove that Llano and it's people are GOOD people (no matter what they say in Arizona!) whether in 1880's or 2011! She proved it! Thanks Deb!

It's been a long time since I looked on the Cherokee County website, and I'm amazed at the information that I found. I did not find anything on my family, but they have certainly improved their site.

McCulloch	The marriages for 1930 - 1939 is so wonderful! I found three relatives marriages dates. I wish all counties had this feature!

Fannin	Probably going to be the "County of the Milennium" at the rate Susie pumps quality information onto it's beautifully reformatted pages.
Austin	I have been doing genealogy for 20 years, and do it everyday. I always check the county GenWeb when researching a family. It's sometimes hit or miss, but Austin County has a great website with a ton of information in an easy to use layout. Thanks for all the hard work!
