Hi Gang, Just a note that the 1920 Knott Co census might be on line in a few weeks. We have 3 good volunteers that have the required MS WORKS program and hopefully in a few days they can get started. I'm going to make paper copies from the microfilm this week at the Kentucky Historical Society and mail certain precincts to them before the week is out. We could use a couple more volunteers if anyone else has MS WORKS and wants to get in on the act. Lynda

I don't think MS Works will open a wordpad document. But if I see something that can be worked with Wordpad I'll let you know. Theres lots of stuff out there that we could work on.

I know there are alot of people out there that like us adding things to help with their research. :) Lynda

HI, Lynda I would like to help in the transcribing but I don't have MS Works on this computer. I could do it on word pad and then send it you and let you open it on MS works if you would like for me to help. Darlene

Hey, Lynda - Ben & I would be happy to volunteer for the transcribing. When he was a kid in Perry Co., had a lot of family in Knott, so he should know most of the names there. We would need you to send the census sheets and templates, we could transcribe and then depend on you to put it on line. Or, if you get a lot of volunteers, we can do whatever needs to be done.

Hi Everyone, I started transcribing the 1920 Knott Co census way back last year or so. I completed about 3 districts, and now I find that there is no way I can get back to transcribing it again at least for another year. And now I'm feeling bad leaving it incomplete. I would like to have a dedicated volunteer that has a good knowledge of the people of Knott Co to finish it. I'll give all the help I can and even put it on line for them if they want. I was using MS Works, and have a template already made up, so it would help me if they had that program. If I do recieve more than one volunteer, then maybe they can do certain precincts. Or I can pull a volunteer out of thre hat?? Lynda

Hi gang, Does anyone know who Mason Napier's (md. Lillie B. Gibson) parents were? I'm transcribing 1910 Campbell Pct and his father's name is next to invisible, and I can't find anything on them, other than Mason's marriage on the Perry Co Stuff Pages. Lynda
