The
TriCity Genealogical Society to launch contest to prove that not all
genealogical records are available online.
Beginning April 1 contest participants are encouraged to post
scanned images of genealogical documents on the TriCity Genealogical Society
Facebook page. Images can be of documents obtained by any method other than
downloading. There are various methods to obtain documents including having them
handed down by family members, ordering them from government agencies, and
copying them from microfilm images just to name a few.
To enter the contest a participant needs to upload the
document image to the TriCity Genealogical Society Facebook page. They also need
to include how the document was obtained and how it fits into their family
history research.
Each month an entry will be selected as the winning entry and
a prize will be awarded. The contest ends March 31, 2016 and three entries will
be selected as Grand Prize winners. Prizes include online subscriptions to
Findmypast, Mocavo, Newspapers.com, Fold3 along with additional
prizes.
Participants are limited to one entry per week. Membership is
not a requirement.
It is the desire of the TriCity Genealogical Society to
educate our community that not all genealogical records are available online
while simultaneously celebrating computerized genealogy.
The TriCity Genealogical Society Facebook page is located at
www.facebook.com/TriCityGenealogicalSociety.
