Please help me to get Vanderburgh GenWeb Growing...
Have you always wanted to help, but just lived too far away to do
anything?
Well, now you can help the Vanderburgh GenWeb grow! Did your
ancestors do
what mine did? Mine moved from Warrick to Vanderburgh prior to 1900.
I have a couple of projects that are in the works. The first one is
typing
both volumes of the WPA Supplemental Marriage records. This record
gives the
name of the bride/groom, their ages, their parents' name and the
date of
marriage from the years 1846-1920!!! Isn't that a great thing!
I've
just
purchased both of the books and will be asking for volunteers to
help type
the records as soon as I receive them. If you are interested in
helping,
please let me know. I'll send you the Xeroxed copies of a letter
(or
however
many letters you are interested in typing) by snail mail. So if
you'd like
to type all of the surnames beginning with A, B, C, etc., just let
me know.
I'll post who has what letters on the Vanderburgh GenWeb site.
Once
you
finish typing what you've chosen, then you'll email it to me
and
I'll post
it.
Another project is the WPA marriage records. They're different than
the
supplemental records. The supplemental records don't list who
married whom,
the marriage records do! I can't afford to buy the marriage record
books,
but if you are willing to donate a bit of money and a bit of time,
we can
buy them all, type them and get them posted. Below are the volumes
and the
prices. I'll put a donate button on the site and you can donate
any
amount
of money you choose. I'll list the donors names and amounts
online.
When we
have enough to buy the books, I'll take the button down.

We all win when we all pitch in!!!! There are birth and death records
available... if everyone likes the outcome of the above projects,
maybe we
can do it again with the birth and death records! For now, I'll
absorb the
copy costs and mailing costs to get the records to you. If it gets
too
expensive, I'll ask for help.
I really do want to see the Vanderburgh GenWeb site grow. Please
help out.
There are many ways to volunteer! See the Help page at:
http://www.ingenweb.org/invanderburgh/help.htm
If you have other ideas, please send them my way!
Thanks again,
