Projects
JGSWS has two current projects:
Cemetery Project: We are working with the Washington State Jewish Historical Society to catalog the data from Jewish cemeteries and funeral homes in our state. The results are posted on our Cemetery Project page and will also be submitted to the JewishGen's Online Worldwide Burial Registry. We have data from 10 cemeteries so far.
The Vital Records Indexing Project: We're preparing to start a new project to transcribe data from birth, bar/bat mitzvah, marriage and death announcements that were printed in the Jewish Transcript and other Jewish newspapers during the past 80 years.
Please let us know if you'd like to help with either of these projects. Volunteers are welcome!
