So you want to help with family history?

If you care not for family history, ignore this post (and possibly repent).

Since moving to Idaho Falls, I have gotten the itch to take some names to the temple.

Unfortunately, I have taken on a MASSIVE project with our family history that consumes me almost entirely. I have to finish it before I try to research more names. In the end, it will make it SO MUCH easier to research.

I have began what I call "THE ULTIMATE RESEARCH LOG" (ominous, huh?). I am logging EVERY single piece of information from every single resource I have collected over the years into one giant Excel sheet. This will make the information incredibly more concise and it will be easier to transfer from person to person and generation to generation.

Unfortunately . . . it takes forever. It is incredibly tedious. I have been working for months and I just got to the last name "Bench."

So, here is my proposition. If anyone would like to be more involved in researching family history, you can help me! I was thinking that I could e-mail whoever wants an excel sheet and one document. The person would then analyze the document, record the pertinent information, and return it to me.

If you are interested, I would be happy to explain more fully over the telephone what I mean. Let me know!
