What is VGA Gives Back?
Members of VGA will work as a group, to index, transcribe, and tag records at various repositories to help all genealogists and family historians find records of interest. This group will also be providing a service to the repositories that we all know and love.
VGA encourages members to work on each month’s project – not only during our group meetings, but also on their own – and then share accomplishments and any struggles at the next group meeting.
If a member has any questions or trouble working on our project during the month, they can reach out to Linda Debe (info@virtualgenealogy.org) and/or other VGA members in our Members-Only Facebook Group.
