Basic Genealogy In Veteran Homes and Old age Homes

While I am waiting to see if I will have any one write a bout their Family Genealogy I have something that I would like to talk about that is Genealogy for people that is in Veteran Homes and old age Homes , They have a lot of time on their hands and I know that they would love to have some one to talk to about their life
I know that the VA can't do it ,

 But Volunteers could like Hight School Students or Boy Scouts and some of us that have retired and yes maybe The Kof C and may be some of the Lodges and maybe we could  get some of the Churchs to help as Volunteers and may be we could get the LDS church to help with some of the records taking . About theVeteran homes someone told me that the VA was trying to get as much information from the Vet that they could but they did not have the people to do it.

The Volunteers would need to have lap-top computers and cell phones maybe we could get Apple or Microsoft ,Dell ,Gateway or HP to help us with the hardware and yes that's too much to ask I don't think Bill Gates would look our way. I know that they are a lot of good people out there that would give us a hand if they could . I know I can get some Kof C Volunteers to help at our Old age Homes here in Pueblo, Colorado. and at Walsenburg VA Hospital.

We would need to get a Group to back us Say like the AARP or The Goverment, That part was a joke. I would like to talk to someone about this .

 I have had a lot of help in the last 12 years with my home page at antrimfamilynewsletter.com  At first I had a hard time getting a Genealogy Home Page but then after I had a home page with The Pueblo Chieftain newspaper here in Colorado. Family Tree Maker gave me a Home page with them and the LDS Library in Salt Lake City  Helped me out a lot and now Google is helping me with setting up my Clyde Antrim's Blog

 I do thank all of the people that has help me with my Homepages and Blog site. With my Gateway computer and H.P. Photosmart C5180 All-in one Printer- Copier I can put out the Genealogy reports and link it to my home page with Family Tree Maker on the internet.
I thank every one that has help me in the past 12 years.

This would not only help the people in the Homes, but would also help the  High School Students and
Boy Scout Volunteers.     P.S . We would need to Talk to the Schools about the Student Volunteers

          Well that was just wishfull thinking
