Abstracting & Transcribing Genealogical Documents

I do not intend nor will I do a tutorial on how or the importance of Abstracting & Transcribing Genealogical Documents but I will point you in the right direction, just follow these steps:

First

• Read Kimberly Powell's article in about.com where she explains the importance of Abstracting & Transcribing Genealogical Documents. She also explains what each is and its role in genealogy.

Second

• Read and use, Spanish Records Extraction - An Instructional Guide from byu.edu.

Finally

• Use Transcript 2.3 or Genscriber depending on your needs, both are free for personal non commercial use.

Remember always add your abstracts or transcribing to your genealogical database.
