Our
Society is always striving to expand and improve the information
we provide to the genealogy community. We are able to do this only
because of the ideas and efforts of our volunteers. We would like
your assistance in helping us to accomplish these goals. Please
review the following ideas that have been suggested as projects.
If you would like to volunteer for one of these projects or have
other projects to suggest please contact us.
-
Index the Lockport High School Yearbooks
This would need to be done by someone local who could work in
the NCGS Library.
-
Index the book "Honor the Fathers and Mothers"
There is a copy in the NCGS Library but we would send a second
copy to anywhere in the country
-
Index the names in the 1908 Niagara County Atlas
We have 2 copies of this in the NCGS Library and it could be
done remote from the Library if the Atlas is picked up by the
person doing the indexing or delivered to them. It is too big
to mail
-
Develop digital database of Niagara Area Obituaries
Currently 2 volunteers are creating a database and PDF files
for the 2008 and 2009 obituaries
We need volunteers to work in the NCGS Library and scan the
obituaries from past years
-
Publish a Collection of Local Genealogies written
about Niagara County people
This would be a major and ambitious project and last for an
expanded time period
Volunteers would be needed to cover the many aspects of this
project. Some of the elements would be solicitation of people
willing to write and/or contribute family histories, assistance
in typing and editing, organizing the genealogies into an interesting
document, contact of businesses for advertising, establishing
a contract with a suitable printing firm, preparing a sales
plan, etc. Of course we will need someone to serve as chairperson
to coordinate the efforts of the many volunteers
If you would like to add any ideas or volunteer yourself, please
contact projects@niagaragenealogy.org.
