    1. [ILMACOUP-L] Need 1860 Census Proofreaders
    2. Gloria Frazier
    3. Contact me, Gloria Frazier <glofra@townsqr.com>, for proofreading 1860 Macoupin Census pages. The recently typed pages are uploaded on the Macoupin page. I will send you, via email, jpg attachments of the original pages from Littleton Bradley's transcribed publication. (Boy, sending out 555 jpgs could get frustrating as my isp has changed hands in the last couple of months and slower than molasses. Could add "10,000" phone lines at our isp and don't think it would be enough down there. <sorta grin>) Since there are 555 pages to proofread, I would prefer sending out 10 jpgs at a time (one to an email) BUT if you are not sure you really really want to proofread, PLEASE just take a couple of pages, proofread them and then decide if you would like 10 more pages at a time. Pages should be proofread in a week after you receive them. Ok, if we had about 50 people (out of the 230 plus) off of this maillist to volunteer, it wouldn't take long to get the 555 pages of the 1860 census proofread. We would like to have a set of proofreaders which do not include the typists. Need to give the typists a break. But, typists, if you volunteer, ask for pages other than those you typed. Just FYI - this transcription is in alphabetical order. After the proofreading is completed, I intend, hopefully, to do a sort to put the entries back into family/census taker order. Thanks to anyone who can help with the proofreading of the 1860 Macoupin County Census. Gloria
