I hope you will all allow me a little leeway here, because
I am about to mention the "G" word <g>. Genealogy, which
is not technically history, but since the History Net homepage
has given the NYGenweb Project such a nice blurb on their
site I thought I'd risk it (see below)

The NYGenweb Project is in need of several people to
webmaster counties. The following counties are available
for adoption:

Bronx
Franklin
Kings
Putnam
Queens
Richmond

These counties all have accounts on the rootsweb server, so server
space is not a problem. What we are looking for from a webmaster
is someone who will further develop an existing website (or start one
from scratch if you so desire), to add historical and genealogical
data that will be of value to researchers. These would include, but
not be limited to: cemetery records, census records, civil war information,
and local resources to name a few.

If you have an interest in this, please contact me at [log in to unmask]

Thanks so much for your patience, (and I hope your interest).
