One of the nice features is the searchable RootsWeb Surname List which has surnames, dates, and locations with contact information for other researchers who may be working on the same family name. Our sole purpose is to help each other with the task of using the computer to manage the large amounts of data that is necessary to trace our family roots and to help others to accomplish this ongoing effort. This is a large cooperative project organized by volunteers to organize genealogy information by state and county. Each county page has a place where researchers can post a request for information on a geographic area. In some cases, volunteers will try and respond to the queries.
Some projects being worked on include cemetery records.
