Hello Folks, A couple of weeks ago the History Channel.com contacted me requesting permission to list "Yesterdays in Hamilton County, IL" on their "best of the web" link site and in return offered me a 10% discount for any product purchased by anyone who accesses their site through Yesterdays. I decided to do this in hopes of defraying some of my costs involved with the site. Don't worry there are no pop-up banners! Besides, I was honored that they selected our site and I did not contact them first. Apparently, the History Channel is starting something new and they now have a genealogy link section for their recommended viewing. So far, they have 17 genealogy sites listed. I don't know what brought Yesterdays to their attention but I have all of you who have contributed to it to thank!! This, of course, will mean more viewers and, hopefully, even more contributed material to post. Well, enough of that! Today I have added 41 more census pages to the 1860 census. Only 25 more to go and will I ever be glad when it is finished!!!! I am transcribing it from a CD and it is very tedious and difficult to do. Again, thanks to all!
