Thank you Bruce, Mary Margaret, and Alice for volunteering to do the census transcriptions. Karen, thank you so much for all of your efforts - again; however, isn't there any other copy available of the 1920 census image? I'd really hate to see you "burned out" as our site coordinator if you have to take a year on this project, too. You're creative and talented - and shouldn't have to be copying the 1920 list twice. Suggestions or help, anyone? I truly can't help out on this project but wish that I could.

Allana Bosch is graciously becoming the donor of the 1910 Census. And, since our Blue Roses lady couldn't get a scannable copy of the 1920 microfilm, I am engaging in a bizarre project that may or may not succeed, but probably will take forever. Since I have a membership at Ancestry.com, I'm handwriting on census forms the info that is on the 1920 Census. If I get it all done, I will then transcribe it according to the standard template for that census year. So far, I've done 4 of 403 pages (averaging 2 a day) - and that means it will take more than a year, even if I'm able to work at it every day - which I'm not. There's got to be a better way! Anyone else out there with an Ancestry.com membership want to dive in and do a few pages?
