Currently we have 5 projects that are 75% or more complete, NSW, Government Gazzettes, Chicago and Northwestern Railroad Records, Savannah Licenses and Bonds, West Yorkshire Quarter Session Orders and UK, Police Gazettes . In order to spur these projects toward completion we will have a challenge this weekend, August 22 & 23. The Top Keyer and Reviewer will win their choice of FTM software, DNA test or a 3 month World subscription. We will also have a drawing for 2 t-shirts with all contributors to the projects who complete 25 or more image sets being entered.
Happy indexing!

I’d love to enter the competition. One of these projects is one of my favorites. Unfortunately, my keying tool doesn’t work anymore.
