A new project that has been started by the Kawartha Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society is the indexing of the family histories in the society’s library.
They hope to create a name index for each history and will put the index in TONI (The Ontario Name Index - the three million and growing name index created by OGS).
If you would like to help, this is another project you can do in your own home. You will be sent a digitized copy of the family history, you read it, and you enter each name you find into a spreadsheet.
It sounds like a neat thing to do over the summer!
If you want to help, please contact them at kawarthaprojects@ogs.on.ca
The website for the TONI page is http://www.ogs.on.ca/projects.php#toni
