Transcribers needed For “Wilmington Irish Website” http://www.lalley.com Over the past several years there have been 6 transcribers who have been extracting birth/baptismal, marriage, and death entries from assorted sources as: microfilmed copies of old Diocese of Wilmington (includes lower Delaware Catholic Churches and some eastern Shore) Catholic Church registers, Tatnall Tombstone records, and other local as well as Irish record groups. These records are going onto a web site founded by Joe Lalley who has Wilmington Irish roots. The searchable databases now contain over 23,000 Roman Catholic sacramental records, death records, data from the 1860, 1870, 1880 and 1900 U.S.Wilmington Census, Wilmington City Directories, some ships passenger lists, etc. We need more volunteers willing to transcribe from the records. In order to do this a volunteer would need: 1- a computer with Excel software 2-have time to transcribe 10 pages of photocopied church records at a time in a reasonable amount of time There are rewards, namely 1- to feel that we are putting into action our pride in our Irish Roots 2-to call attention to the Wilmington and Delaware Irish as a part of the greater American Irish family 3-to assist the descendants of the Delaware Irish across the world with their ancestry To volunteer, or to have questions answered contact Nancy Menton-Lyons at 302-234-0460 or nancyml@worldnet.att.net or Joe Lalley at jmlalley@ioa.com
