Society – GenWeb Cooperation • This is not a competition of who can do what. • Funds can be raised locally by offering your local research services on line – reach a lot of people. • County Coordinator can refer queries to local genealogical society. A “win-win” situation! • Cooperation is the best way to help people research their families.
