Local volunteer groups

Dear friends of Founders and Survivors,

Many of you have indicated your interest in working with other volunteers in your area, or in making contact with other local genealogists. I have set a up a number of pages on this website to facilitate this. You can visit the Groups page to see a list of local volunteer groups, and request membership of a group.

If you would like to join or suggest a location that is not listed, or if you would like to assist us by coordinating a local group, please contact Claudine.

progress report on migration of data

Dear friends of Founders and Survivors,

We are trying to bring together data from a variety of sources -- such as police records, surgeons' records and death registers -- that have been stored in many different formats and data structures. The process of making these different kinds of data ready for electronic publication is complex and time-consuming.
