George and Drew discuss the transliteration of documents (such as
those in Latin), and tips for translating from one language to
another. Drew also leads a discussion about using WorldCat to
locate local newspapers, partially inspired by a listener's
suggestion for using the U.S. Newspaper Program
(www.neh.gov/projects/usnp.html). Mailbag and news includes
Roots Television's (www.rootstelevision.com) new RootsTube channel,
the Virginia Freedmen Extraction and Indexing Project
(blackhistorymuseum.org/bureau), the Indiana Marriage Indexing
Project (www.indgensoc.org/indexing.html), the storage of genealogy
files online, the new Web 2.0-style LivingGenealogy.com site, and
the upcoming state conference in Ohio (www.ogs.org).
