Karen, Of course I'll do all I can on the transcription. But I'll throw in my fair share of bucks, too. Judy

Is Heritage Quest viewed by paid members only or is it free to all of us. I know that some of those run "free access for a month" specials. I can't keep up with who is what and how they operate any more! Ain't it grand??? So much genealogy....so little time...

Union was not formed from Claiborne Parish. Claiborne was formed from Natchitoches Parish in 1828. At its origin, Claiborne consisted of a small portion of Lincoln, Webster, Bossier, and Bienville, which were carved out later. Susan.

I'll be happy to give for the CD.

Karen - Will certainly contribute financially to the census project. Sounds like the Heritage Quest/Generations route may be the way to go if it works out to be as good a project as it's reported to be! If we end up with any transcription needs, count on me to help! i due tipe purdy gud! and purdy phast two! - Leah

Karen---I am with you on this matter, but I just wanted to let you know that Heritage Quest is working real hard on Indexes for the various census years. So far they are 29.95 and 39.95 depending on the State. If we are able to get the census on line without too much cost, then I will donate money to the index fund...If I understood them correctly the index was for the state not just the county/parish. mary margaret ----- Original Message ----- From: Karen Rice <aberizn1@gte.net> To: <LAUNION-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2000 5:04 PM Subject: Fw: Union Parish LA Censuses > This is what I received from Heritage Quest.

Mary Margaret, We are linked to the 1810 Ouachita Census, and I have been trying to figure something out before suggesting the 1820 and 1830 Ouachita - I read in something - a Parish history of some kind - that Union was formed from Claiborne, and that Claiborne was formed from Ouachita, so I was trying to get my geography and history straight before approaching that. Any help out there on exact formation dates? Karen PS - see my next e-mail for the response from Heritage Quest. I think it's a good one. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mary Margaret Selig-Trahan <mmselig-trahan@cpomail.net> To: <LAUNION-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2000 11:54 AM Subject: Census Records > Karen---I have never lived in the Piney Woods of Union Parish but have been thinking about the area, its history and our ancestors.

I know there is a gentleman named AL who is looking for VINSON's and I found these while browsing the internet. Thought they might be of interest. Marriage records from Johnson County, TX: J.M VINSON married N.E. TIDWELL on 11-30-1871 BENJAMIN F. VINSON married ANNIE E. LANDERS on 12-1-1872 If this info is already known, sorry about the repeat!

I will give 20.00 also. Ray

While I use the Union Parish Census Records at the Ouachita Parish Library, I am willing to donote to the purchase of these for online viewing or for the Union Parish Library in Farmerville.

Looking for descendents of the Frank C. Cole/Mary Swafford family. Moved to Union Parish from Georgia around 1880. Have some info to share.

Hi Karen & listers, Count me in for my share - whichever works out best on the census copies. The cramps are gone from my fingers, and fall is just around the corner. Judy Cole

Louis, That's a good idea, provided we have enough people who have access to the censuses. That's the advantage of having the images of the original census donated, then we just transcribe from that, don't have to go to a library somewhere. A lot of us are online because we live in small towns or rural areas and don't have that kind of access. I'm going to take Mary Margaret's suggestion and call the 800 number - what have we got to lose? Then I'll get back to you. Karen

Jim, If you are out there, for some reason, the rootsweb server is bouncing your e-mails, and one I sent you was bounced back. Contact me personally and let me know if you got this, and I'll try to resolve the problem. Karen

Here's the quote I received from S-K. They didn't respond to my question about the length of time involved. I guess they can't answer, because they don't know how long it will take the required number of people to sign up at $20 a pop.
