I think that what you are proposing for the census information is a great idea. The fact that everyone will get their own census on a cd makes the deal even more sweet. However I would like to put in a plug for the transcribers (of which I am one), who give of their time and efforts transcribing the census of many counties for the the USGenweb Organization. I have listened while many of you have said that the images are better as they would be your interpretation of what you see rather than that of someone else. The rules of transcribing the census is that you put on your transcription, exactly what is on the census itself. If the enumerator spelled the name different at different places, then you put it exactly as the enumerator has listed it, not the corrected form, if you know it to be incorrect. You are transcribing, not correcting. Also, all census' submitted, are to be proofread by another person, thereby, hopefully eliminating any typo's. If the proofreader disagrees with the transcriber, then it is up to the transcriber to accept the proofer's change or stay with what he transcribed. Also, once the census is on line, if someone knows of a surety that there is a mistake, they can get ahold of the transcriber and have the census changed. I would definitely like to urge all of you to contact http://www.usgenweb.org/census/ to obtain more information on this program or contact the administrators of the project RON EASON rkeason@tir.com or Connie Burkett wvconnie@email.msn.com for more about the program. You can also see what is available to all by going to http://www/usgenweb.org/census/states.htm This site contains all the census which have been transcribed. Its free and done for you, the searcher in order to help you find your family. (Become active - volunteer).
