Although we are a new group in 2017, there are a number of other activities we would like to undertake with the aid of willing volunteers; such as, transcribing the minutes of the Burial Boards, obtain copies of advertisement associated with buried business men, transcribe family reports in the local newspapers, transcribe street directories so these can be offered on our website, etc.
There are also a number of 'administration' roles available; someone to carry out publicity and interface with other local groups. Someone to pull together a Friends Newsletter. Someone to fund raise or seek donations of material from local businesses to help us carry out our work.
