Evening Lists, Since several people seemed intrigued by the idea of volunteering to aid in the creation of keywords for the Some Who Led web site I thought a word to the wise in how it should work. Those interested in participating would send an email to me denoting their willingness to participate. After I have some five or six willing I will assign them a range of pages to work on. Each person would enter the proper information into the box to the bottom right corner. They can do four ro five pages, or whatever feels comfortable to them per session, and send the email. I will then on a periodical basis update the web site to reflect those changes. The follow lines is an example of how the email is when I receive it; minus the opening and closing quotes.

Since Robin was kind enough to show what it would look like a few rules on what is needed. Obviously we want every person mentioned with the women denoted by both their maiden and married names. Robin correctly entered Susanna Miller. Susanna Miller would also entered as Susanna Wine. Yes, it may seem odd but in the long run it works because someone may only known of "Mrs. Susanna Wine" and not know her maiden name or the name of her husband. Galen B. Royer aand Daniel Long Miller, more commonly known as D. L. Miller, would be entered two or three different ways. As you can see on the metadata I already have entered they each appear several different times under variants. Again this is trying to be as helpful as possible. Now as to places. This presents a small problem. Yes, we would like to know all the instances of a county or city. I believe that in the entirety of the project this would be cumbersome. What I have done in the material I have completed is to create keywords for the churches and congregations and any other church body. Even if the church mentioned was not a German Baptist church I recorded it. I also created index entries for institutions (Virginia Normal College, Huntingdon Normal School, etc. etc.) and any companies mentioned. I have also entered any references to periodicals Brethren related such as the Primitive Christian, Brethren Family Almanac, etc., etc. I am not saying that the way I view this is either right or wrong. Once I get the five or six volunteers I would like we will mutually settle on a schema to follow. Perhaps it may include counties and cities. Thank you to the two people who did seem to be interested in participating. Wayne Webb

Wyne, I would be interested in participating. I would like to see places named also as in doing my research I sometimes only had this info versus the congregation name. So - for what it is worth, I would find that helpful and maybe others would also.
