Transcription Projects 

One stated purpose of the Society is preserving records. We have concentrated on local record sets that major companies are not interested in and several projects are underway, or will be soon. Time to help us fulfill this important mission.

Quarterly Editor Jay R. Taylor has arranged access to several volumes of Oxford Township assessments.  Three volumes have been commercially digitized, thanks to donations to the Ruth S. Kennedy Fund.. We need help indexing the records so we can add them to our 1890 census substitute project. If you are not familiar with the project, take a look at the here.  Volunteers will are sent a group of 10 images and a spreadsheet. The volunteer types the first name, surname, and file name into three columns of the spreadsheet.  Each group takes about 30 minutes to complete. The volunteer returns the completed spreadsheet, and deletes the images from their computer.

In addition to the volumes being professionally digitized, we have an additional volume which does not fit the 1890 project.

There is never pressure to complete a project quickly, and help is always available!
