I thought some of you might be interested in this new project. I think it's a wonderful idea. >From Eastman's Genealogical Newsletter: Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness Now here is a real "grass roots movement." The Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness Movement consists of volunteers who agree that once per month they will videotape cemeteries or do look-ups of information in a county where they live. They will do this whether they have ancestral ties there or not. These volunteers agree to share the fruits of their labors. Quoting from the group's Web site: Because the idea is that a person can spare one time per month to go out into the area they live to unselfishly provide information to another far from home, this makes volunteering and giving of oneself much easier. It also means that if we can obtain one person living in each county of the United States, as well as folks from other countries, to volunteer for this once per month, our odds of obtaining what we need anywhere we need to look go up tremendously!
