PROJECT 21

This list includes those who made up the original group named Project 21. This group, which would go on to become the Newfoundland's Grand Banks Genealogy Site, provided the direction and drive in their effort to provide an easily accessable source of genealogical information for researchers. Over 100 people worldwide volunteered their time and efforts as part of Project 21, to transcribe and post the 1921 Newfoundland census on the Internet. All of this was done for the benefit of genealogists, historians and for general interest for the entire Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The 1921 census records contained over 1,000,000 entries from over 250,000 individuals when it was completed.

For identification, items marked with an asterisk in the list below, are primarily the known members of the original Project 21. If there are others who should have been included in the listing, if they will let us know, we will be glad to include them as part of the original group.

The cost of this project and the continuing operation of the site has been the sole responsibility of its volunteers. The copyright to each transcribed section of the information remains with the transcriber so it cannot be captured for re-sale. As the volunteers submitted the transcribed copies, they were set in HTML format and immediately posted to the web.

This site is perhaps the largest project of it's kind in North America and perhaps the world, one that will benefit all with any interest in Newfoundland and Labrador's heritage, history or genealogy.

Below, you will find a complete listing of those who have made contributions to the site, either in money, time, or material. Without these contributors, the site would not be the site it is today. One of the largest in North America, which does not charge for use of any of the material posted on the site.

Our thanks to those who began this site and started it on its present path of today.
