Tim, I was just thinking that not everyone understands the enlargement factor with these censuses, and it might be a good idea to put the following somewhere on the Census pages: "To view images at their best place your cursor on the image, then move it off into the white space, then back on to the image. Soon a little orange/red button with blue arrows will appear. Click on that and the image will enlarge and be very clear and easy to read." Dear Everyone, You know me. I can't let well enough alone, and one project leads to another. These 1930 images are so very clear and readable (thank Mary at Blue Roses for that!) that we really don't even need a transcription, so long as we have a good index. I have started an index, and I'm about halfway through Ward One. I'd also like to do Ward Four, as that is mainly where my folks lived. That leaves Wards Two, Three, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten for anyone to jump in and help with. This is what I propose: Feel free to volunteer for whatever you feel up to from one page to a whole ward. When you are done, send it to me and I will copy and paste everything into one big Excel file and alphabetize it, and create a text file. Here is the format I'm using in Excel: Last Name First Name Ward E.D. No. Page No. Image No. Line No. Hudson Georgia One 56-2 1B 1930-026 51 Don't know why, but the grid lines wouldn't copy into the body of the e-mail, however - you should be able to use your imagination looking at the above. Please let me know what you're going to do before you start, so we won't be duplicating each other's efforts. Thanks!! Karen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Timothy D.
