On May 12 a TIGS list member from Virginia sent me the following email on her experience using the Rensselaer County Marriage Index on the TIGS website and she has allowed me to post it on the TIGS mailing list. (Hello, I have been a lurker on the TIGS listserv for a few months, learning a lot of useful information. My ancestors stem from Ireland and came to the Troy/Albany area. I am from Troy but currently live in Virginia and was just up in Troy for the weekend. I read the email about the Rensselaer County Marriage Index project on Friday and immediately looked up some ancestors and found them! I had planned to go to the Archives that day to request a copy of that very certificate and would have had to pay the $22 and wait a month or so. Instead, I went to the County Clerk's Office with the information obtained from TIGS project and for $5 and in 5 minutes, I had instant gratification. So I wanted to express my appreciation for everyone's hard work by offering to help with data entry for the project. Please let me know what is involved and how I might be able to assist. Thank you, Diana Lupe) We have taken Diana up on her offer to help with data entry. She is now one of the 20 transcribers working on data entry of Volume 6 and 7 of the marriage index.
