I am hoping that someone can help me with my problem. I have been looking for some software that can be used to record census information that you locate. I have downloaded the spreadsheets from Gary Minder that are in Excel for each year, and used them some. What I am looking for tho is a piece of software that can link to PAF 5.0 genealogy program that I use and would be easy to record for each person the census they are on and the family members found therein. Probably, noone has developed this kind of software becaue I have run all kind of searches and can only come up swith software you use in conjunction with the census data you get from the Census Bureau. Does anyone have any ideas where else I can look? Bonnie Maupin Huth San Antonio, Texas

And it did just that....got all the soap out. Mother's hair was brunette so she used the vinegar rinse. My kids were all blondies so I continued the use of lemon juice on them. I am STILL blonde, but it's sure not lemon juice keeping it that way.

Bettye: Verden is in Grady CO, OK. It's close to Caddo CO, to the west. I swear Caddo CO is to the east. I get so turned around out there and when I see the sun setting in the "east" my family laughs! So, I need the ocean to tell me which way is west out here! LOL My family out there had outhouses and tubs. Mother said the oldest washed in the tub first and it went down the line to the youngest! She hated that because the water was quite dirty by her turn. She was one of 8 children but I forgot to mention a first cousin who was raised by my grandparents when her mother died before she was 2. So there were really 9 children. When my uncle married again my cousin wouldn't leave our grandparents. I stayed with that cousin when she and her husband and two boys lived on a farm in Maysville, OK and they had no electricity, several times. They had an outhouse and I hated going there. But, I thought it was neat that they had the lanterns, that went out early so they could get up with the chickens, so to speak, to start a new day. I saw farming to the point that I realized that it wouldn't be fun to live on a farm. My mother told me I wouldn't like it. Well, I was a visitor, so I didn't have to do anything. My cousin's boys, around my age, had to work and work hard! Sandi

__________________ My experiences were in Oklahoma also. My grandmother lived in the Rocky, Lookeba, Lone Wolf area. Bettye Maupin - And we DID have outhouses - no bathrooms or bathtubs. Only the old trusty #3 washtub. Lord, I hated to squat down in that thing! I was my grandmother's pet. (My maternal grandmother). She made the best white sugar syrup and biscuits I've ever eaten. (Where is Verdon? - I've lived in Bridgeport, Howe, Davenport, Geary, Dill City (not Del City) Star, Weatherford, and Stillwater - all this before moving to Missouri!

Yes, I can remember going to particular homes, remembering from the year before that they gave great popcorn balls, cookies , etc. I also remember the throwing of corn and soaping windows of those who didn't answer their door.
