Just curious......I never was one to leave the house and volunteer but I find when you really love something you want to give away your knowledge to others. What is your passion?
1. I do genealogy lookups for people.
2. I make corrections to records on Ancestry.com if I see an error or I know a person's alternate/maiden name or information about them.
3. I am also on the CCC Volunteer list at Ancestry.com. We evaluate corrections submitted by others that have been challenged to determine errors.
4. I transcribe census records and births, baptisms, marriages, deaths and news articles for St. Lawrence Co., NY.
5. I help random people in the library who are new to research and seem lost or don't know how to use the machines.
Also, I would like to know if your family respects this as work? My family respects it as work and calls on me for help, but my husband thinks that since I enjoy it so much, it is not work. My sister says "Anything you would have to pay someone to do is work."
