I do not know what you mean when you say "all of the updated books". I have what I bought from the society. The book that I am working from is copyright dated 1990. I can find no publication date within the book. I purchased it when I was in Iowa a couple years ago. The program that I am scanning the information into is Microsoft Access version 8.0 which requires Microsoft Windows '95 or up to work. The MS Access program is a typical database made up of tables, records and fields. I have been scanning the data and separating the information into various fields. I have established fields for Year of Birth, Year of Death, Age, Last Name, First Name, Sex, Township, Cemetery, Page Number as found in the LCC book, Military Service, and other text data. Someone who owned Access '97 and received my file could instruct the computer to search and find any record that matched a specific criteria. For example, at present I have about 13,000 records in the database. I can easily tell Access '97 program to find and print all recrods that contain the word "BOWEN" in the text field and/or last name field. I can also easily have Access '97 restrict the search further to only males, only males with military service, and only those born after 1975. I am also setting up duplicate records of females based on maiden name with reference to married name. Thus, a married female would be listed twice, once under married name and once under maiden name. As a person who has spent years doing genealogical research I find the maiden name sorting to be very useful. Once all of the data is scanned in then basically any report, sorted in any order, containing all records or selected records can be created and printed. I was thinking of setting up and sending to the society some of the following: Complete list of all records sorted by Last Name/First Name. Selected list of all individuals with military service. Selected list by year of birth for those individuals that Year of Birth is known or can be approximated. Selected list by year of death for those individuals that Year of Death is known or can be approximated. Possibly a complete list of all records sorted by First Name/Last Name. In all instances the duplicate Maiden name record would be include with the Last Names. In each of the above the original page number, Sex, Year of Birth, Year of Death, Age, Last Name, First Name and text would be printed as well. It takes a while to do this because I have to double check the results of the scanning program. Scanning programs tend to misread some data and I have to rekey anything that is wrong. I am confident that the final results will be beneficial. However, in all instances I retain a page number and row number reference for every record so that the original data may be consulted in the Louisa County Cemetery book. In addition to selling a reindexed version of the Cemetery book, you should consider selling the database to those who have Access '97. I understand that once the data is sold in an Access '97 datafile then that person could reprint the book and sell it themselves. But, is that not true also for someone to simply take the hard copy and make xerox copies and sell the copies? As a person who uses Family Tree Maker and is versatile in MS Access I intend to extract my records from FTM and have Access automatically search the scanned Louisa County Cemetery book for probably matches on all names. Others who know how to use Access and Family Tree Maker may wish to do the same thing and would be willing to purchase the computer database. I have scanned up to Union Township, leaving me about 50 pages to go. That's about 3 nights of scanning for me. Then it takes me about a week to separate out years of birth, years of death, ages, military service, maiden names, etc. Then I have to reprint the entire information in original order and compare to the original book. I am hoping to be complete before the end of December. If you have corrections then I need to receive those corrections in some format that will allow me to key in and fix what I have scanned. I have noted some errors that I was going to send to the society for review. My program automatically scans for years of death that come before years of birth. I also have a list of about 15 names that have "wife of" in reference to a clearly male name. I have come across a few other discrepancies as well that should probably be resolved. Let me know what you think.
