Volunteering

Looking for a way to give back?  Think about volunteering your time and talents by volunteering for genealogy websites.  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints uses volunteers to scan and/or double check records and to decipher handwriting in Census' and such. It's easy, fun, usually you can do a record in about 20 min. and it's amazing the connections you will find.

Genie Angels always needs more volunteers willing to go to local courthouses to pick up documents for others.  Get your exercise in by walking through out of the way cemeteries and taking pictures of tombstones or taking a survey of the plots.  There are endless opportunities to volunteer and give back.
