Indexing Cemeteries in Belarus-- Polish, Jewish and Belarusian Graves!

What I like about this modern world is a thing called Go Fund Me. We, the people can add a few dollars to help out in a worthwhile campaign. The poet Robert Burns did subscriptions before he put out a book of poems. This is very much the same thing. One of my genealogical contacts works as a Guide/Translator in Belarus. He is presently also working on Indexing Cemeteries in Belarus. He has been doing this project alone, with help from one benefactor. He really needs funds to keep his indexing project of graves free and online. If your people immigrated and their paperwork says "Russian Poland", many of these people came from what is now Belarus.

Freedmen's Bureau Project --- Volunteer Indexers Needed!

To help bring thousands of records to light, the Freedmen’s Bureau Project was created as a set of partnerships between FamilySearch International and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, the Afro­-American Historical and Genealogical Society (AAHGS), and the California African American Museum. Tens of thousands of volunteers are needed to make these records searchable online. No specific time commitment is required, and anyone may participate. Volunteers simply log on, pull up as many scanned documents as they like, and enter the names and dates into the fields provided. Once published, information for millions of African Americans will be accessible, allowing families to build their family trees and connect with their ancestors. For more information, CLICK HERE!
