What can be submitted?
Almost everything of genealogical research value. Examples: Federal and State Census schedules and indexes; Local Tax rolls; Cemetery Indexes; Vital Records - Marriage, Birth, Death Indexes; Biographies, Wills, Deeds, Obituaries, Church Records; Local Histories and Old Local Directories just to name a few.
What can not be submitted.
