5 Examples of Random Acts of Genealogy Kindness

RAOGK or Random Acts of Genealogy Kindness is very important in helping to break through brick walls.  Working together as a community we can often break through these obstacles.

So I wanted to share some examples of RAOGK that I have seen lately.

Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness

  1. Woman bought a dish set engraved with a family name and offered to the family for the same low price she paid.
  2. Person asked for help with reading a signatures and others used their computer skills to enhance the signature for reading.
  3. A faded picture was loaded and others used their computer programs to enhance and color the photo.
  4. An old family Bible was given to a family member at no cost.
  5. A man went to a cemetary to take pictures and sent them to the ancestor hundreds of miles away.

 

These are just a few examples I’ve seen.  There are Facebook groups for genealogy one can join {including RAOK groups}, websites for RAOGK and then sites such as Ancestry and FindAGrave where you can make connections and provide a random act of genealoky kindness.

How can you offer a RAOGK?
