This was sent to me from another list and I thought that I would share it with everyone. What a great idea! Julie We all know what a chore it is to find answers, locate records. Have you thought about all of the genealogists in the path of Katrina that fled their homes, leaving their computers and their data behind? Not today, but someday, they will be in a position to return to their genealogy, and have no idea where to start. A group has just been started to help. Please join! Homepage: http://groups.google.com/group/Katrina-Genealogists Group email: Katrina-Genealogists@googlegroups.com Description: Genealogists banding together to recreate data for those who lost their records in Katrina. Collecting surnames, names of genealogists who lost data, those who want to help. Initial startup will be spent brainstorming what we can do. We know many of you are not in the south as you research. There is no shelter near you that you can volunteer for. Perhaps this will be a way to help. If you have ideas, or are just available to do something once we formulate tasks, please join us. (At this point we are the blind leading the blind and need any ideas we can get.) Please pass the word.
