The LDS Church has begun to index black cemeteries, now. They are responsible for the Ellis Island records being available as well as Freedman’s Bank records. Amazing, extensive genealogical record transcribing!
If I ever get all the projects done that keep piling up around me, I’d like to do indexing from home. Census records still need to be done in all languages.
In these parts, there are a number of congregations founded during or immediately after the Civil War. Their stories are very interesting.
