So, I want to take the opportunity to totally plug indexing. All you have to do is go to www.familysearchindexing.org and sign up. You take the tutorial and will then know how to do the work. Indexing allows you to view a scanned copy of an original census record, birth, marriage or death certificate (along with many other types of records) and enter in the information so that others can access a readable copy when they are researching their family lines. It is so much fun, a great use of one's down time, an easy way to be involved in family history work, and is also an endless treasure trove of fun and unusual names. Last night I was working on Birth Records from New Hampshire and entered in the following names: Romance Richards (a guy!), Easter Agnes Richards and Eliphalet Richards (his wife's name was Etta). You should try it, I promise you'll get hooked on something good.
