There is a project to publish a book listing all U.S. residents living at that time. This information will be furnished by descendants of those people. There is no charge for listing your ancestors and when permission is granted, contributors will be listed with the proper reference to their ancestor entries. Submission deadline is April 2000. The data will be published and sold at cost with copies going to the Library of Congress, Maine State Library, Maine State Historical Society and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Library. For submitting your ancestor's vital stats please use the following format: Head of Household-full name, age, date of birth, place of birth (include town-county-state), sex, race (W=white, C=colored, I=Indian, A=Asian). Spouse-full name, maiden name in ( )'s, age, date of birth, sex, race. Information source-list family Bible, family genealogy book, etc. Notes are optional.
