In the first four months of this year, 50,000,000 names were extracted ... for example, a census page has space to record some 40-50 people. So one page of census enumeration might constitute 50 of the fifty million. I think the notice said the fifty million were amassed by a group of 130,000 volunteers. And so many more volunteers are needed!! LR "Eller" <familyhistoryguy@gmail.com>
