Transcribers needed
For “Wilmington Irish Website”
http://www.lalley.com


Over the past several years there have been 6 transcribers who have been
extracting birth/baptismal, marriage, and death entries from assorted
sources as: microfilmed copies of old Diocese of Wilmington (includes
lower Delaware Catholic Churches and some eastern Shore) Catholic Church
registers, Tatnall Tombstone records, and other local as well as Irish
record groups. These records are going onto a web site founded by Joe
Lalley who has Wilmington Irish roots.
The searchable databases now contain over 23,000 Roman Catholic
sacramental records, death records, data from the 1860, 1870, 1880 and
1900 U.S.Wilmington Census, Wilmington City Directories, some ships
passenger lists, etc.
We need more volunteers willing to transcribe from the records. In order
to do this a volunteer would need:
1- a computer with Excel software
2-have time to transcribe 10 pages of photocopied church records at a
time in a reasonable amount of time
There are rewards, namely
1- to feel that we are putting into action our pride in our Irish Roots
2-to call attention to the Wilmington and Delaware Irish as a part of
the greater American Irish family
3-to assist the descendants of the Delaware Irish across the world with
their ancestry
To volunteer, or to have questions answered contact Nancy Menton-Lyons
at 302-234-0460 or or Joe Lalley at
