Hi, James...and thanks for volunteering. I'd like to have whatever you can send. At the moment I have only what has been previously published on MD clan. I only started this about five months ago and have been working furiously on Ky. clan as that is where my interest in this project all started. I'd like to ask a favor of all volunteers, please. I have at present about three thousand of the earliest McElroys in my "Colonial" file. I have another 1200-1300 in my personal McElroy file. Some in the Colonial file are duplicates which will be tied together and merged as we go along. They have been collected from birth, marriage and death indexes from various states. I have another couple of thousand that have not been entered in my database yet. Any info that helps tie them all together is appreciated. I will gladly take whatever format is available to you to send (.txt, .doc, snail-mail, etc...) If you are able to send GEDCOMS, please do. I can enter them into the database quickly and it makes comparison much easier and faster. I am keeping an individual file also on each voluteer who sends an update so that I can document where the information came from. For anyone who wants to write: Julie Freeman P.O.
