Hi Folks, This URL came across a list and thought we might be interested in it. The site is created and maintained by S. Morgan Friedman. It is interesting to use this site to convert money back to earlier times in our country, especially when we take information from the different census years. We can see what those values would be in today's money or what that will would have meant to the heirs of our ancestors.
