    3. I'll be glad to help, just send me some images and the format you want. I have both Excel and Works, but prefer Excel if that's okay.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3AB.2ACI/6912 Message Board Post: I am looking for volunteers to help on a transcription project for Harlan County Genealogy. I would like to transcribe the 1888 and 1891 Harlan KY tax rolls as a substitute of sorts for the missing 1890 census. I picked these two years as they are the closest years to the year 1890 for which a complete tax roll is available. I decided to do two tax years as the tax rolls can be a little bit hit and miss if you just rely on one year. The information that we will be extracting is the head of household, the nearest neighbor, the number of males over 21 and the number of children ages 6 to 20. When complete, we will provide the file to the Harlan County Genealogy Website for free public access. The requirements to help are as follows: Some familiarity with Harlan County names. Microsoft Excel or MS Works spreadsheet. A graphics image viewer to view the graphic files. Some of the pages are fairly faint, so patience is important as well. If you would like to help, please email me directly at ecbingham@frii.com
