Although I tried, I&#8217;m not counting this as a task completed for the Genea-Blogger Group Games.<\/p>\n<p>I joined <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familysearch.org\/indexing\/\">FamilySearch Indexing<\/a> and indexed 50 records from the 1900 US Federal Census.<\/p>\n<p>I joined <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishgen.org\/Galicia\/\">Gesher Galicia<\/a> and made a financial contribution to their project to inventory the land records and maps for Galician towns.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Because the Genea-Blogger Group Games ends Saturday at noon, I won&#8217;t have any time to complete any other tasks.
