Hello, several notes and questions here. The Louisa County Genealogical Society met this week and we discussed the cemetery indexing project. Sorry we didn't get back to you sooner. No business meeting was held in November. We certainly appreciate all the offers we received from list members who were willing to tackle the project. Len Bowen from this list is in the process of scanning the book into his computer. Len, do you have all the updated books? Is your program just a list or can it be put into book form that could be sold to bring in any money for the society? If so, are you willing to do that? There are some corrections that need to be made. They could be added to an index. The historical society, who first published the book, only included corrections and additions in its first update. There are more that we are aware of, which should be published. Stephen Bartenhagen is working on a unique indexing project putting families together. We are very excited about the project, and suspect it will be a very large project - perhaps several volumes, if published. Steve, would you be willing to make your work available as an income project for the society? Could you send us a page or two to give us a chance to see what it looks like? Steve, we also very much appreciate the time you have spent in responding to questions from the list. Two others offered to index the cemetery book. Would you be willing to index some other books from our collection? If so, we could photo copy the books and send them to you. Our local membership has a strong core of people who attend each meeting, but it is a very small core, about a dozen people. Again, thanks for your interest. connie Keith/Connie Street ckcasey@netins.net 325 Franklin Ave, Wapello, IA 52653-1515 319-523-8164 [654-5866]
