RootsWeb Boards updates

welcome to the war zone newbie über-admins:-)

Elaine,
if you won't listen to me about the incorrect spelling and structures of the danish county message boards,
would you ask Gerhard to impartially review the situation of his northern neighbour

Sweden has correct spelling of counties in a structure useful to genealogists

The errors in DK are those of the CIA fact book
https://cia.gov/cia//publications/factbook/geos/da.html
and now from 1 January 2007 those 14 counties have been reorganized into five regions

I am an experienced board admin and know exactly how to do the work under the old system

the RootsWeb boards are still suffering from the wounds inflicted by the "update" but not yet dead.
