Online Service Projects.

I am currently Involved in an online service project as a Facebook Administrator. My responsibility is to permit people into a closed Genealogy Facebook group  https://www.facebook.com/groups/855993304493098/ I also track the members areas of genealogy research, Develop memes and distribute video content related to family history in this group

On July 2nd, Family Search Indexing Volunteers set a record for the number of records being indexed. 7,258,151 Indexed 3,082,728 Arbitrated 10,340,879, Total.  This was done by 46,091 indexers and arbitrators who participated in this historic event. I managed to get in some names.  I was working on the 1940 Census Records for the United States.

Another cool Family History Related activity is found at the Billion Graves Web site. If you have a smartphone, Ipad, Ipod, or Tablet with a camera, You can go to a cemetery near you and take pictures of the gravestones.  These pictures can then be downloaded to their website for other people to index. These indexed records will eventually go onto the Family Search web site for others to see.
