I ended up drifting away from it, as well, but remembered how much help a little bit of my time could be, in the long view. I've noticed there always seems to be a document set from Chicago area.

What's exciting about this is that, in the aggregate, we can each do a tiny bit--whatever we can contribute--and it will add up to something useful for a large group of people over time. That is definitely multiplying our effort!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-56326640096170854382016-01-18T22:16:22.108-08:002016-01-18T22:16:22.108-08:00It's really neat to focus on an area in which ...It's really neat to focus on an area in which you have a vested interest. Not only is it helping others, but you are actually helping your own research. Plus, it's fun to wander around the "raw data" and get a feel for the "neighborhood." Wouldn't it be great to run across some of your folks while you are indexing those Boston passenger lists?!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-48721602432612855632016-01-18T21:01:58.168-08:002016-01-18T21:01:58.168-08:00WELL I gave it a whirl and indexed Draft records ...WELL I gave it a whirl and indexed Draft records from Pennsylvania.
