In order to access the database I have to date. First, go to www.rootsweb.com Then Click on the link to the WorldConnect Project Main Page Then where it says "or jump to a specific database" you type in wjfranklin The direct URL is http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=wjfranklin&I11.x=26&I11.y= 3 This database has 16 to 17 hundred individuals in it. All of these are gleaned from combining the 1850 Census with the Franklin County Marriage books, and supplementing this with OPG (Other People's GEDCOMS) off rootsweb. Please note that in the 1850 Census, I estimate there were 38 to 39 hundred people in Franklin county, so I have only scratched the surface. Completing this phase may take several months and I would hazard there would be about 15 thousand people in the database by that time, which would be the 3800 people actually IN the county, and then their parents, spouses and childrens spouses perhaps.... I still will need assistance from someone who is actually IN or NEAR Franklin County (which I am not) to do some research on records that are not accessible through the Internet.
