Dear fellow GAGenWebbers,
I want to share an idea with y'all.
I admin a group of 946 people on Facebook called Pioneering Families of
Florida. each and everyone of its members is a descendant of a Florida
Pioneer. They have instituted a CHALLENGE to see who among them can
transcribe the most Florida wills between Feb 8 and Mar 8. As part of
the challenge they have all agreed to allow their transcriptions to be
placed on the appropriate FLGenWeb County site (my suggestion,
naturally. ) They are using FamilySearch.org's Un-indexed Florida
Probate Record images to do these transcriptions from.
In the 3 hours since the challenge was issued, 38 people have signed on
and 18 wills have been posted to the group! A member of the group
offered a 10.00 Walmart gift card to the winner. Just another example
of how FB can be used to procure more and new data for our website!
Already 3 more members have stepped up to provide a gift for March April
and May!
