    1. [GERmanRUSsian] Future Extractions
    2. Hi Listers, The following is for those who are wondering where I might be going in the future on the 1920 U.S. Federal Census extraction project that I started. I will in the immediate future be working in the State of Washington. I will be extracting Whitman County. I will also look at Asotin and maybe Garfield Counties. Whitman along with Walla Walla county and possibly Asotin and Garfield formed an area where there was significant G-R presences in Southeast Washington. I am also going to be working in Kansas especially in the Barton, Ellis, McPherson, Marion, Rush and Russell Counties. With Rush, Russell, McPherson and Marion being the first counties worked in. These counties will take a while to extract. From first glance I would say that there will be about 10,000 individuals in Rush County alone. I would imagine that Ellis county would probably equally as large. Eventually Michigan will be extracted. The first two counties will be Huron and Tuscola. However it appears that 8 other counties in Michigan along with Huron and Tuscola formed a significant population of G-R's. The problem with working in Michigan is size of the Census for these counties. Huron and Tuscola are the only two counties of the 10 that aren't multi- microfilms. The larger the census the longer it takes to go through it and the longer is takes to transcribe. Also if anyone would like to help extract any of these counties I can tell you how I do it.
