Building Up Our Site


By arturoramos - Posted on 22 May 2006

We now have three members who have contributed to the GEDCOM database. We have a few other people who asked for accounts to be set up but have not yet uploaded data.

If there is anybody who would like to put their genealogy data (even if it is just a fraction of what you have) in this searchable database, please let me know and I will be happy to help you get it online. I think that building the database, particularly ancestors from the earlier centuries (those that we might share with other members) would be incredibly helpful for the group.

Also, the films database is a very valuable tool and I am quite sure that we don't have even half of the relevant batch numbers entered in there. If anybody has some spare time and is familiar with the familysearch website, it would be great if you could volunteer some time and get some more films and batch numbers in there.

If you think you can and are willing to help please let me know and I can guide you. You can begin by browsing through the films list and at the bottom of each state listing there is a list of municipios for which we have no films entered.
