Browning The FTP URL is: http://ftp.us-census.org/pub/usgenweb/census/il/macoupin/1900/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From Cheryl: This is truly the wave of the future. St. Michael's Cemetery<http://haasgis.cob.uwf.edu/website/cem/viewer.htm>, Pensacola, FL, has been mapped. [ http://haasgis.cob.uwf.edu/website/cem/viewer.htm ] Go to the web site. Zoom in far enough to see the name for each individual tombstone. Then click on pictures on the left side of the screen. Isn't this great? Don't you wish they had this for every cemetery? Go to the main St. Michael's Project <http://www.uwf.edu/gis/smc/index.cfm>web site [ http://www.uwf.edu/gis/smc/index.cfm ] to see what they did. They also did some wild things using technology on a satellite to determine where bodies were buried and the stone missing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Coady Hatlen Memorial page http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmacoup/hatlen_coady.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Send your Haunted Macoupin County stories to Dan Mathis. http://www.geocities.com/hauntedmacoupin/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have about 5 projects going on right now so I haven't got the queries indexed.
