Technology brings records out of church basements

[PeterK]

A specialist who was working last week digitizing all the church’s records, says church written records are  invaluable.  In the same way DNA molecules link to form a human being; it is documentation providing the link to what was going on in somebody’s life.  Where and when did they marry, live? What did they donate to the church, how did they volunteer?   Jan Carlson, image gatherer for Arkiv Digital, explains that her love of doing the painstaking photographing of church record is due partly to her getting to know characters in church records who are every bit as interesting as something you’d read in a novel.
