Everyone that knows me already knows that I am a genealogy nerd. In my spare time (when I have any), I love to weed through and transcribe old records.
Anyway, something that I find really cool in the genealogy world in www.familysearchindexing.com. As you already might know, the mormons are the keepers of millions and millions of old records. They have already indexed the 1880 US census and are now starting on the 1900 census.
What is really cool is that people from around the world can go the the above site and volunteer to transcribe. When you sign up, you are immediately sent a batch of records and a template. This is a great way to give back to the genealogy community.
