July 28, 2007 – Vicki Vigil visits AAGS
At the July general meeting, Vicki Vigil (experienced researcher and author of Cleveland Cemeteries and Finding Your Family History in Northeast Ohio) shared information about the ECCGS / City of Cleveland transcription project. The goal of the East Cuyahoga County Genealogical Society is to transcribe over 300,000 cemetery records onto a computer database, to provide digital access for researchers. If interested in volunteering, contact vvigil987@sbcglobal.net. A short training session would be provided (at Highland Park Cemetery). Ms.Vigil also provided information about an August activity at the Erie Street Cemetery geared towards sparking interest in local history.
