AOL Genealogy Community News

 We all know what a chore it is to find answers, locate records.  Have you thought about all of  the genealogists in the path of Katrina that fled their homes, leaving their computers and their data behind?  Not today, but someday, they will be in  a position to return to their genealogy, and have no idea where to start.  A group has just been started to help. Please join!

Homepage: http://groups.google.com/group/Katrina-Genealogists

Group email: Katrina-Genealogists@googlegroups.com

Description: Genealogists banding together to recreate data for those who lost their records in Katrina. Collecting surnames, names of genealogists who lost data, those who want to help. Initial startup will be spent  brainstorming what we can do.

We know many of you are not in the south as you research. There is no shelter near you that you can volunteer for. Perhaps this will be a way to  help. If you have ideas, or are just available to do something once we  formulate tasks, please join us. (At this point we are the blind leading the blind and need any ideas we can get.) Please pass the word.
