Whenever I receive a note such as the one below, I point out that the Census transcriptions in the USGenWeb Archives are done by volunteers. Only a small portion of the Census (1790-1920) has been transcribed and placed online. If someone volunteers to transcribe the slave schedules, they will be gladly accepted and placed in the Archives. It is possible that the organizers of the Census Transcription project overlooked the slave schedules when putting their indexes together. I'm copying Kay Mason, who is the coordinator for the USGenWeb Census Project.
