Just wanted to say 'Hello; again, and that I am still working on: 1. creating a family tree database from the bios 2. creating a searchable database from the family tree database/ As for cleanup and non-existant email addresses; 1. I have found some minor errors in the bios; probably scanning errors, like i88i instead of 1881; letters e and c misread by the scanner, etc. 2. I have created a WORD document of all of the bios, and attempted to contact the submitters. (Its about a 200 page file.) I could create a list pf the submitters and thier email addresses, if desired. I'm not a volunteer, just a permanently disabled 58 year old man, assuming my brain cancer operation was successful. This is something am doing in my 'spare time', which looks like I have plenty of time for. I am currently at 'L' alphabetically in the bios, entering namesm vitals, and events into the database. From that I can produce web pages, family tree drawings, lists of what events took place at any of the locations, etc. If anyone has an interest in any of this, contact me. The files that I am working on will be accessable to whoever would like it. I am assuming it would fit on a diskette, maybe not. I am not in competition with anyone, have no intention of creating my own site, no intention to post anything anywhere. I did have some distant cousins in Henry county; Col. Sylvester Blish; Charles Cheney Blish (banker in Kewanee); and James Knox Blish, who created the Blish Genealogy. Thanks for listening. David Blish
