~December 2008~
Even though the Christmas season is busy .... our contributors found the time to give Clayton co. visitors many great gifts to help in their research.The following thank-you notes are for the generous 'elves' who took time from their busy lives to transcribe records for the website, to contribute photos and other types of data. Each of you has helped to make the Clayton co. IAGenWeb a great research destination for on-line researchers around the world. There is no way I could do it myself. Starting this month, I've added selected off-site data links that will be of interest to Clayton co. researchers.
