Where Help is Needed
The process of populating the NolanFamilies.org archival knowledge bases (stories, memorials, information tidbits/gleanings, research posts, etc. for use in writing an up-to-date Nolan history book) is not complicated when broken down into its individual parts but, to bring those knowledge bases to a serviceable level requires the input and participation of many.
Help is needed on the following fronts:
- “Family Stories” knowledge base
(the identification and documentation of early Nolan family branches spread around the world;
this typically involves the writing of a summary of known facts about a particular Nolan family’s two first generations, adding references if available such as a family’s Wikitree ID, an existing family genealogy website or other relevant published material)
- “Memorials” and “Information Gleanings” knowledge bases
(the identification, collection and digitization (OCR or transcription) of Nolan-related historical information likely to be of interest to the Nolan diaspora e.g. Fr. John Nolan’s manuscripts, the Nowlin-Stone genealogy, Glenn Allen Nolen’s notes, excerpts of Nolan memorials transcriptions found in the Reynold Fieldcrest’s Memorials collection, etc.)
- “Book Material” posts
(the research and writing of posts/articles of interest to the Nolan diaspora to be posted in the website’s “Book Material” space, to help in the writing of an up-to-date Nolan family history book)
With help from people like yourself, the dream of creating a world-class “archive of Nolan-related information” as envisioned by the founders of the modern-day Nolan Clan in 1995 can become a reality. If interested in actively contributing to this groundbreaking project do not hesitate to contact me and we can discuss how we can best work together.
