Starter Projects

Tell Your Friends!

Several indexing projects are now reserved for new volunteers, those who have never submitted a batch. When a new volunteer clicks Download Batch..., they see a special list of these starter projects.

The batches in these projects are very small. Ideally, one batch should take a new user 5 to 10 minutes to index.

Starter projects may appear in the list of current indexing projects on the Web site, but they will only be available to new volunteers to index.

Congrats, Becky!

Becky has indexed 5,000 names. Go Becky!

O'Fallon 1st

O'Fallon 1st is like our other half. I mean, we used to be one. I don't know anyone who doesn't miss being one with them. But splits happen. Wards grow apart. We wish only good things for them. We'd never want to compete with them. (Like in a game of softball, for example.) So, I'm only mentioning how they're doing so that we can cheer them on and congratulate them on their hard work. It has nothing to do with how close we are to passing them by...

Double Pleasure!


Twins!

Amy G told me of some twins she has indexed:
Myrtle & Myrth
Andrew and Alexandrew
Pleasant & Polite (both boys)

I've done Rixie and Lacey - both boys.

My mom indexed a married couple named Cargle and Gertha. I bet when they met they just KNEW.

What about you? Any twins?

Halloween Post



Norman Bates. Spooooky. Happy Halloween.

Lowe Lowe?



Really? Lowe Lowe? I guess if you're Rob Lowe you can name your kids whatever you want.

What does Wm Stand for?

Krista called wondering what a capital "W" with a lowercase "m" superscripted and underlined beside it meant. It's William. Why does that name get an abbreviation and no others? It's a mystery.

Latest Numbers:

Congrats Christine Woodbury, Heather Getz and Sienna Stroud on their first batches!
