Here's the latest update: Bruce Odom is transcribing the 1840 Mary Margaret Selig-Trahan is transcribing the 1870 Alice Ogles is transcribing the 1880 Which leaves 1900 and 1910 up for grabs. 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?
