January
Donley My inlaws came from Donley County. Love the site and the new information that has been added.
Montgomery I really like this site. Very easy to navigate. Much work was put into this. I like the various sites you can go to from here.; Lots of information.
Henderson These people seem to go well beyond the normal effort in assisting me toward furthering my families efforts; I received so much help -even promptly after my first query. There is a wealth of data there. Keep it going!!; The updates are almost daily, information is easy to attain and the dedication of the people involved is remarkable. This is my favorite site. A huge thank you to Henderson County; The coordinators do a great job keeping this page updated.; The coordinators do a great job keeping this page updated. The volunteers do a great job also. Thanks everyone
Colorado This site is well organized and has a staggering amount of useful information on it. Just the amount of census data alone makes it a great site, but there's so much more. It's astounding that it has not won before!
Bastrop Tammy continues to do a wonderful job. I wanted to register my thanks and continued delight! Lisa has made a wonderful site. It is full coverage of the McDade area events, history, people & archives.; A great web site for history and research and events.
Coryell This county is really helpful, I wish all counties had as much info as Coryell.
Grayson best in texas
Oldham Jim Hewitt's Oldham County site , in my opinion, mets all the requirement s to be considered for the county of the month.
Fannin Susan continues to do an outstanding job month after month devoting countless hours maintaining the site and records, and answering emails. She has also taken on many related activities like editing the Fannin County Flashback newsletter, monthly meetings of the genealogical society, and coordinator for a neighboring county. I feel fortune tohave her as the coordinator for Fannin County.

Montgomery Excellent site for researchers; Great site! Jane Sanford Keppler is a wonderful coordinator.
Henderson Continues to do excellent work on a timely basis;.; Bunny Freeman and Holli Boone Kees have definitely put together a website that is so full of information that I look forward to accessing it every day. I've been tracing my genealogy for 18 years and have watched the Internet genealogical sites grow. I'm so thankful that many of my family members happened to migrate to Henderson County, Texas where the information is not only plentiful but is so expertly arranged. Bunny and Holli have added numerous newspaper articles where I have found a vast amount of personal information on my family that I probably would not have discovered on my own. My only wish is that many of the other county websites would use the Henderson Co., Texas website as a perfect example in setting up their county information! It would make the genealogical searches so much easier! If the Henderson County website were to win the regional award maybe more people could see how to set up a "perfect" website. This site has been a godsend for finding information about my family. The dedication to getting information to us is amazing. It is user friendly and does not confuse the novice.
Coryell Great, the best. this is the best site I have seen
Falls This site has really improved over the last 2 years and the coordinator really deserves a lot of credit. Thank You! TONS of GREAT info!!

Henderson A branch of my DANIEL family made its way to Henderson Co TX ca 1850.; I found Henderson's website full of helpful information. Thanks for a job well done!.
Grayson Susan Hawkins has created a site filled with valuable and unique helpful information. I think I have seen it all and I keep finding more layers with more info. Susan has the ultimate patience helping many newbies who many times do not understand enough to proceed to those with more experince. She always adds a new perspective to folks who have been researching for some time. I look to many county sites in several states to have some online info that may help to narrow down my search. There are few sites that can match the dept of knowledge they hold and only one that provides assistence to those of us in need like Susan does at the Grayson County, Texas website.
