What to do about Links in Red
Links in red usually fall into three categories:
 * 1) It links to a page that no longer exist and has been removed from the Internet.
 * 2) It links to a page that has moved and has a new URL address.
 * 3) Links to an article that has not actually been written.

 * For links to pages that have not actually been written we ask that you might consider writing some of them yourself.
 * Many of these titles were to link to articles that include the histories of various parts of the country, trails and roads.
 * If you should live in these areas, you might have special knowledge that the genealogical researcher could use.
 * To author these articles, you can gather material from the various histories that exist on the Internet or in Wikipedia. Many of these articles are quite long so be prepared to condense them down into your own words.
 * Your article need not be long.
 * Be sure a give credit to where you found the information you used in your history.
 * Be sure and included links to other sites that may have histories of the area you are writing about.
 * IMPORTANT: Concentrate on writing the articles with the main emphasis on how the history of the place or route effected the moment of people as they settled the area. For example: where did people come from who settled in the area you are writing about.  Where they might have move on to next if they left the area.  This might give researchers clues on what areas to go to next to look for records.
