Ideas and suggestions wanted for the USA Portal

Hi all,

Please let us know if you have ideas or suggestions to improve the USA portal , what would you like to see added and what is missing ?
Also if you have a good idea for a USA related project you can just start one
Feel free to be creative after all it is YOUR portal

I would like to see under the individual State sub-projects County info. For example, I started a Washington County, Georgia project. I have so much info on that place.

Please add YOUR County of origin!

The idea was to add a sub project for every state but I was stopped in my tracks , Someone thought I was creating shell projects LOL
So now we just have to create the State sub projects one by one, add all the info we have then when it looks like a proper project start the next State project
So if anyone feels the urge to start a state project please do so, I agree with Kenneth (jeez have to stop agreeing with you all the time Kenneth Kwame Welsh ;)

Don't let anyone stop you! You're on the right track, Annemarie!

I will add a few more this week! Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Well had no choice as they were deleted :)
Thanks Kenneth I will do the same, add a few more, will leave Penn, Maryland, Virginia to you

I've been thinking about this for a while.

I think I will make an umbrella project for Colonial America with a timeline, and fill in the colonies that way.

So for the state of Massachusetts project, related projects would be
- Plymouth Colony
- Massachusetts Bay Colony
- Province of Massachusetts
- commonwealth of Massachusetts

The "early settlers of ..." projects would be related depending on when the town incorporated.

Etc.
-

Kwame be careful on the Colonial entities, particularly Virginia. We need to plot out the timeline.

Private User that sounds like a well planned idea, I like umbrella projects, great way to organize and keep it all together and Colonial America is such a big subject so this is the best way to go about this I think.

Annemarie... I am so sorry that happened to you. I did that with Civil War states, years, etc, without even any profiles just text, and no one deleted them.

I got the feeling in looking at some of the other countries portal's that they were offering help to people from other countries who needed it...like if you don't speak German but need help with German records, to go there. I am not seeing that on the USA portal...did I miss it?

Thanks for your help, Erica!

Get it started! No better time than Thanksgiving! lol
