Hi George, I've been wanting to do this for some time now, but don't have a copy of the text! I'm planning this month (or next) to purchase a copy from Higginson's. Perhaps after that we can arrange something here within the list where those of us who have scanning and OCR software can work on that portion and those who have the book but not the software could volunteer to do proofing? We could even split the book up into sections... and those who don't have the book could be sent a copy of their "section" to proof. Anyone interested? (besides me of course!)

Perhaps I can help. William Calvert who married Elizabeth Nodding is presented on pages 661 thru 677 in Descendants of Virginia Calverts by Ella Foy O'Gorman. These pages could be "scanned" , stored as "image files", and then translated by an "optical recognition program" to generate "text files". The end result would be that all the researchers would have the complete text of pages 661 to 677 in form they could easily use for their research. (Also, I already have the the first 5 generations of the mainline of the Virginia Calverts in a text file, plus most of the 6th generation.) i enjoy helping others research their family lines, and would be glad to help with this. I can do the scanning and I have the latest version of an "optical recognition program", however there is a lot of proof-reading and correcting needed to generate accurate "text files". Any interest in doing this?
