Hi Rick,
the english version is already prepared. At the moment, we fear a flood of requests and research inquiries and still discuss how to handle this problem. The societies in Hessen do not have the manpower to answer 1000 requests or more per year. As soon as we see a solution, we will put the pages on the web.
Regards,
Holger
Hello Holger, Is it really so bad? I maintain the Alsace pages and get perhaps 5-6 emails a year about it. Can it really be true that Hessen would get 1000 requests in a year? What is the experience of the owners of the other regional pages? esp. for the various German states? Dieter has Rheinland-Pfalz -- how much email are you getting from it? I can't imagine anything more important to the project that getting English-language pages out there. If there is an English-language page, even if you don't answer the emails, the English-only amateur genealogists at least get something. Without an English page, they get nothing. Rick
