for as little or as much as they want. You can volunteer to do things
such as transcribing, etc., for one hour, one day, one week, or whatever
you have the time and willingness to do. You may stop at anytime you decide
you can no longer be involved. If you have access to Newberry County resources
and can help out in any area and would like to give a few hours of your
time to promote FREE genealogy online, please contact Traci

when our great grandchildren go to visit the cemeteries and they have
nothing to look at? You CAN help by making a record of them by way of
photograph.
