So, Donn and Charlotte and other JC Folks-- Where do we start? Everybody who is asking for things to be on-line should be willing to do some transcription. (We don't want to be like the friends of the Little Red Hen, who won't help her bake the bread but are so willing to EAT the bread!) I'm happy to work on something, but have no idea where to start. I'm nowhere near the Jackson County Courthouse, but I have a local Mormon Family History Library and can find other things on-line. If someone will volunteer to organize us and give us small, manageable assignments, please put us to work!
