literature, objects of art, genealogies, photos, documents and all applicable
records and do all the other necessary work to carry out the objectives of GRHS
and the BDO RIG.

WHAT DOES SERIOUS RESEARCH ENTAIL?
This group is made up of people who support good research practices and are
interested in discussing such things are listed under item II below.
Members become a part of the BDO team, working together in research efforts by
- participation at a level they feel comfortable,
- sharing BDO family data and village/parish histories,
- working in small teams with VC's and work groups involved in village,
parish and district level projects,
- posting BDO-relevant/interest information to the listserv and
Members also have the opportunity to volunteer their talents by
- .- working with a group/team on BDO oriented projects
- .-writing articles and sharing data for the BDO newsletter (published 3 times a year),
- .-assisting with translations of documents retrieved from Old Russia or
- .-assist with identifying volunteers who may translate documents for us.
By each one of us working with the other members of this list, sharing
experiences and data, we are thus able to accomplish a great deal - at the
family, village, parish and district levels. This inherent team-type
positive cooperation is the glue which binds this list server's activities,
and gives us greater potential than any of us can fully understand. Time
will prove our efforts grand and rewarding.
