What to do about Links in Red
These links are usually to articles that have not actually been written. Someone may have thought they would write an article on this topic, but never got around to it. For links to pages that have not actually been written we ask that you might consider writing some of them yourself.

What are the subjects of the articles these links link too?

 * Many of these links were to go to articles that included histories of various parts of the country, such as county histories.
 * Many are about various trails and roads and how people move from place to place.

You can write them yourself

 * To author these articles, you can gather material from the various histories that exist on the Internet or in Wikipedia.
 * Many of these articles are quite long so be prepared to condense them down into your own words. Your article need not be long.
 * IMPORTANT: Concentrate on writing the articles with the main emphasis on how the history of the place or route effected the moment of people as they settled the country. For example: where did people come from who settled in Kentucky.  Where they might have move on to next if they or their children continued westward.  This might give researchers clues on what areas to go to next to look for records.
 * If you want to quote extensive material from other articles, you may need to get permission.

Include where you got your material for your article

 * Be sure a give credit to where you found the information you used in your history.

List links to other sites

 * Be sure and included a list of links to the sites from which you gathered material and any others that would be of interest to genealogists.
