| Adopt a County More Information |
| The ‘adopt a county’ concept is a great idea that IGSI would like to use for our website. Many members have knowledge of a county in Ireland or other Irish areas that would be useful to other members. IGSI will set up an area on the site for each county which will include links, timelines of historical events, photos and maps to help researchers. Adopt a county in Ireland, a province in Canada, a state in America or Australia, an Island in New Zealand or a country that the Diaspora of Irish have settled. The volunteers who ‘adopt a county’ will suggest information or links for the section they have taken. They do not need to put the information online themselves. Location: Anywhere |
| Look Ups Volunteer Now |
| Would you be willing to look up information in your local genealogical/historical libraries that may benefit another member living further away or in Ireland? Volunteers who would do lookup in their home areas or in books they may own provide an invaluable to others. We would like to compile a list of members who are willing to do look-ups for other members. Again, volunteers would set their time commitment and availability for this service. Each of these projects allows the volunteer to spend the amount of time chosen to give. If interested in helping with any of these projects. Location: Anywhere |
| Indexing From Home Volunteer Now |
| We have two different types of Indexing Projects. First, indexing records from hard copy that have previously been typeset. These are the easiest and cleanest to do. We are also looking for folks that will take original records in handwritten form and index them. These are harder but the most genealogically valuable records. Location: Anywhere |
