Beginning 2 Nov 2009, I will be working with Fran Jensen! I'm excited to help her with governance and welcoming newcomers etc. I joined Steve on the welcoming committee today and am working on learning wikitext and templates. If you have any suggestions, they are most welcome! Kara --CK Whipple 23:19, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

As a consultant in the US/Canada Reference Unit of the Family History Library, I have been assigned to the vital records team which creates pages and content for finding birth, marriage and death records for each state.

Our goal is to create a format that is useful, informative and invites contribution from the community to enrich the content. Eventually, we would like the wiki pages to be THE PLACE to go for genealogical information.

A general format for vital records pages was first created for Alabama. We began working on pages in alphabetical order, but other states have been addressed as new members have joined our team with an interest in a particular state. We encouraged your contributions in the areas you have studied and researched. Many contributors have gone before us and added content to the wiki. We are most grateful and hope to integrate content from all sources in such a way as to enhance the wiki users experience.
