Hello everyone, I've been promising to start transcribing the 1880 census for quite a while and I'm finally off to a good start. I'm now about halfway thru Beat 1 (600 names)and hope to have it oneline by the end of the month. I had hoped to have 1900,1910 and 1920 online this year as well as the tract books but that was wildly optomistic as it will take me several hours a day for three or four years to get each year unless I get lots of help. I can provide copies to work from and transcribers would need a computor with a program such as MS Excell or Lotus 123. I also need proofreaders who won't even need a computor as I can provide copies of the oridiginal and the transcript. If you would like to volunter only for the beat/area your ancestors are in thats great, I'm going to skip to mine next myself. -- David Dennis dddennis@concentric.net,http://www.concentric.net/~Dddennis/surnames.htm Chilton County UsGenWeb page,http://www.concentric.net/~Dddennis/chilton.htm listowner for ALCHILTO-L mailing list for Chilton and surrounding counties listowner for SWORDS-L mailing list
