Step Tests Wednesday

Anyone interested in helping perform step tests on the Miners Employment records and Kelly Funeral Home records can stop by the library on Wednesday, December 16th at 6:00 PM. Also, let me know how everybodys schedule looks around the Holidays so we can start filming when we get the step test numbers back. Most likely we won't start filming until after Christmas. However, if we get the numbers back quickly and somebody wants to do some filming before then, that is fine.

Microfilming to Resume Soon.

I just wanted to post to the blog to let everyone know that we will be resuming microfilming soon. Naturalization, funeral home, cemetery and possibly some mining records are on the schedule to be filmed. I will post more information in the coming week. I will also contact volunteers by email since I haven't updated the blog for awhile and some volunteers may have stopped checking it.

August 31, 2009 Update

August 23, 2009 Update

It looks like everyone was anxious to get back to microfilming last week. The full compliment of microfilm volunteers took their turns filming last week and a lot was accomplished. If we get the same turnout this week, we should finish up all the records that we have prepared for filming.

We are in the process of searching for more Church, Cemetery or other records vital to genealogical research to preserve on microfilm. If you have any leads or contacts on possible records that we may be able to film please contact us at: nepgsmail@gmail.com

August 16, 2009 Update

Microfilming has resumed and volunteers can film on their regular schedule or at their convenience. The cover sheets are completed for all books and the settings can be found on them.
Jim has completed the Luzerne Ave. Baptist Church and Oakdale Cemetery records. Early PA State Grange Records remain to be filmed.

Enjoy the late arrival of Summer!
