It all started with an invitation to try out the indexing program. For those of you who may not know what "indexing" means, just imagine taking bajillions of paper records (census data, draft registrations, death certificates, etc..) and typing them into the computer so that the information can be accessed by everyone worldwide. Yeah, it's a giant project.
The best part is that anyone can do it. All you need is a computer and Internet. You can start really small and basic. I started working on it a couple months ago in my free time and as of today I've done 650+ names! It is a worthwhile endeavor that will help everyone with their family history work. I'm not big into genealogy at this time in my life, but this data entry stuff is easy, and fulfilling.
So here's my plug for indexing.. just do it!

I remember hearing about this when I was up there. Way to go Jaime! I guess I should learn. :)
