LAGenWeb Parish Page Requirements

If you are considering hosting a parish in LAGenWeb, and coordinating the parish project; please look over our basic webpage requirements, as indicated below...

• You must have both the USGenWeb logo, and the LAGenWeb logo prominently located on your main page.

   

• You must have a link to both The USGenWeb Project, and The LAGenWeb Projecton your main page. A link to your Parish's Archives at USGenWeb is required on your site, as well. These pages may be found right here.

   

• An active email address, where you may be reached, is required; linked on at least the main page.

   

• A query page, where visitors' requests for genealogical information will be posted, must be maintained and updated by you, or a volunteer. There is an automatic method available, too. If you're confused, let me explain. There are 2 types of query pages:

   

  • You can manually re-type the queries, or copy and paste them from your email.

     

  • You can also sign-up for the automatic query system that many county and parish coordinators are now using. Here is an example of this type.

   

• As host, you must subscribe to the project mailing list, LAGENWEB-L. I will be happy to do this for you, at your request...just This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it !!

   

• Finally, a page listing your volunteers, and helpful genealogy links are also mandatory...something like this.
