We added a
record 65 417 entries in July, due to an increase in volunteers. But we need more - we´d like to be adding 100
000 each month. If you would like to help,
e-mail toni@ogs.on.ca. There are many projects to work on, so we
can find one to suit you. Most of the work is done in your home on your computer.
TONI now has
611 773 entries. The big addition this
month was all of the cemetery transcripts for Prince Edward County. There was a good start on Carleton Co and
more for Haliburton and Kent. Ottawa
Branch continues indexing its family histories - they now have 54 266 entries.
The cemetery
transcripts up are:
Carleton 12
750
Durham 7 038
Haliburton 6 330
Halton and Peel 19
926
Hastings 81
624
Kent 30
007
Northumberland 72
137
Peterborough 85
115
Prince Edward 36
946
Renfrew 428
Victoria 11
Waterloo 11
393
Wellington 131 395
Next month we
expect more from Carleton, Haliburton, Kent, and Victoria.
Locally Ottawa volunteers have been busy with the Family Histories in the library and the Cemetery transcriptions. Not all have been processed into TONI yet but we currently have submitted 132,511 entries and have another 154,000 in the pipeline. The Ottawa Branch scrapbooks are at the Provincial Office to be digitized and we hope to have them back soon to be indexed and added to TONI. If you would like to help with this massive project, contact me at TONI@ogs.on.ca.
