We are now working on a collection of books called the Brown and Green Collection. We also try to see some of the sites. Yesterday we happened to bump into this flea market that circled the old East State Penitentiary and I got a great idea how to hang my necklaces and Jim is happy to find me an old rake.
Our new job of scanning includes over 1,500 books that are records collected from all the counties in Pennsylvania and surrounding states. These books included church and state records from 1700- 1920 including births, marriages, land ownership, baptisms, deaths and other recorded information. We are finding, recording, and scanning these records for Family Search, Historical Society of Penn, and Find My Past (located in Ireland ). Last week we were learned new meta data from our trainer who is fluent in Spanish and French and lives in Montreal. This week we completed our first 21 books, from Allen and Allegheny counties!
Here is Jim and I at Boat House row which happens to be right below the famous art museum that Rocky used for training.
We are learning new things everyday. We love sharing and growing together.We also love seeing wonderful places in Philadelphia. If you are wondering how our brains can do all these new skills, so are we!! This is keeping us young
