An Unmarked Grave and a Family Bible

Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness
Thom sent me a link to an article from the The Daily News (Jacksonville, NC), written by Joe Miller. It’s about a group called ‘Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness’ (website here (raogk.org)), and about how one man was helped and how he’s helping others (as well as giving you a good rundown of just what kind of activities the group engages in). This is the first time I’ve heard about Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness, and I am looking forward to contributing (and you should check them out as well).
