County Coordinator
Welcome. My name is Rob Yoder and in April of 2014 I became the County Coordinator for the Deaf Smith County website in the TXGenWeb Project. This website appears to have been without a permanent coordinator for about a year and has been in the hands of babysitters in the interim. I have been with The TXGenWeb Project for more than 17 years now, connected with Tarrant and Ellis Counties. I want to let everyone know that I have no research interest in Deaf Smith County and I live 390 miles away in Fort Worth, Texas. I am sorry, but for those reasons, I will not be of much help with your research.
My first objective was to make some repairs to the website and chase down the broken links. Well, I believe that I have now accomplished that. All of the pages, other than those written in Spanish, have been set to the same style as the home page and each link has been checked. The Spanish pages will be too difficult for me to work on. I do not speak Spanish so I will not be able to maintain that portion of the site unless I get some help from some of you.
Now is the time for me to begin soliciting materials to place online and grow further through contributions from researchers and visitors to this website. Please share your stories of Deaf Smith County, biographies, photos, short stories, ancestry charts, and what ever else that might be of interest to others. Please let me know if you have something to contribute.
If you would like to help out with the website, just a little bit or a whole lot, please speak up. I would like to appoint one or more Assistant County Coordinators. If someone more qualified comes along that would like to take charge, I will be more than happy to step aside. I believe that the website should be managed by someone who has roots here or currently lives in or near the county. |
