From September to December, 2000, graduate students from the departments of history at the University of Ottawa and Carleton University verified and corrected the geographic information contained on the file, eliminated duplicate cases, identified missing cases, and standardized the age, birthplace and origin fields for use in the LDS search engines. In the process, these students learned valuable research skills in the use of MS ACCESS and MS EXCEL in creating and refining historical microdatabases.
