Dear Friends, There are some new NYC transcription projects in the works, and they need you! The not-for-profit metro NYC area German Genealogy Group http://www.germangenealogygroup.com/ and Italian Genealogical Group http://www.italiangen.org/ are working together once again to transcribe* more recent NYC records, that will be searchable online, just as they did with Brides & Grooms, and mid century births earlier. You all know these search engines, you use them every day and they're free! But free to use doesn't mean they're free to produce. I welcome the Births from 1910 forward, but know they are working on Marriages too. Also, there's a Cemetery Project and another for something like Federal Crimes. Right now they are desperate for folks to transcribe...that means to read handwritten records then keyboard the data into forms, print, then return by mail. *If you've got the skills, please contact John Martino> [email protected], Since tran$cribing record$ means ton$ of copying cost$, paper, mailing, etc They sure would appreciate donations to meet their goals. Please mail your generous gifts to > John Martino Project Coordinator 49 Brookhill Lane Huntington NY 11743 Gene-logically speaking, Barb
