Hi everyone. I've made promises about this census all year but it is finally coming together. Beat 1 is online and Beat 2 will be going to the person who converts it to plain text from the Excel .xls format early next week. Beat 8 is being proofread and Beat 4 will be ready sometme soon for proofreading. Next week almost certainly. That should be about half of this census. Because the 1880 and 1920 are the only censuses that are not indexed or fully soundexed it should be helpful as a search tool. I will be devoting my time to the Beat 5 which is too illegible to transcribe from photocopies and the beat 7 which is almost as bad. Several volunters for beat 3 have not been heard from. Hopefully they are alright but I am looking for new volunters to transcribe that one. I can provde copies for them to work from. Any help would be appreciated as I didn't realize how difficult this would be. The next project for this county may deal with the death certificates. -- David Dennis, Proud Rootsweb Donor, dddennis@concentric.net, Chilton Co.,Al,UsGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~alchilto/chilton.htm Lincoln Co,Ga, UsGenWeb,http://www.rootsweb.com/~galincol/index.html listowner for ALCHILTO-L for Chilton CO., AL and GALINCOL-L, Lincoln Co.,GA,SWORDS-L mailing list,
