Cheryl, Thanks for offering to help. I'm new in this project, so I don't know exactly who is doing what. May I pass along your interest to the project manager -- so she can get in touch with you by e-mail? Fran On Apr 9, 2006, at 10:49 PM, cheryl cessna wrote: > I would love to help in any way I can.

Cheryl, I just put two and two together -- I've seen your surname Cessna a few times in the birth records I'm indexing. Do you want me to send you the names? In fact, if you like, I can send you the completed listings (in Word) for 1874, 1875, 1876 and 1878 (1877 is missing). You might spot other familiar names!
