I have seen several references to an 1808 map of Washington and Frederick Counties put together by a Charles Varle, and wonder where I could get a copy?  I could only find an unreadable version on-line.  It is said to document specific parcels and their owners' names.   Richard

The public is encouraged to bookmark the website now in order to more quickly access the 1940 census data when it goes live. No other website will host the 1940 census data on its April 2 release date. The National Archives has teamed up with the U.S. Census Bureau to celebrate “40 Days to the ’40 Census.” Using social media channels to post videos, images, facts, and links to workshops nationwide, the National Archives is getting its researchers ready for the online launch on April 2.

A National Archives 3:13 minute video short on its YouTube channel (http://tiny.cc/1940Census) and on www.1940census.archives.gov provides a “behind-the-scenes” view of staff preparations and gives viewers tips on how to access the data once it is launched on April 2.

Background on the 1940 Census While the original intent of the census was to determine how many representatives each state was entitled to send to the U.S. Congress, it has become a vital tool for Federal agencies in determining allocation of Federal funds and resources. The census is also a key research tool for sociologists, demographers, historians, political scientists and genealogists. Many of the questions on the 1940 census are the standard ones: name, age, gender, and race, education, and place of birth. But the 1940 census also asks many new questions, some reflecting concerns of the Great Depression. The instructions ask the enumerator to enter  a circled x after the name of the person furnishing the information about the family; whether the person worked for the CCC, WPA, or NYA the week of March 24–30, 1940; and income for the 12 months ending December 31, 1939. The 1940 census also has a supplemental schedule for two names on each page. The supplemental schedule asks the place of birth of the person's father and mother; the person's usual occupation, not just what they were doing the week of March 24–30, 1940; and for all women who are or have been married, has this woman been married more than once and age at first marriage. For the release of the 1940 census online, the National Archives has digitized the entire census, creating more than 3.8 million digital images of census schedules, maps, and enumeration district descriptions.

Hi Jimmie, Have you considered a blog instead? Wordpress allows pages and you can post updates or individual stories or your latest finds. Followers will get an email every time you create a new post. There's no or low cost involved and it couldn't be easier for your family members stay tuned. (The blog itself is free, you'd only pay a small fee if you want your own domain name.) I have a family history web site at MicroSoft Office Live. Their cost structure is being revised which changes the web site from "nice to have" to "an unnecessary expense". I also had a blog on Blogger. I'm in the process of moving ALL my data to Wordpress. My family members have said they prefer the blog format because it feels like there are always new developments for them to read about. Laura Do we share any ancestors?

Richard, South Mountain runs roughly north-south along the border between Frederick County and Washington County. Washington Co. was formed out of Frederick Co. in 1776, so at the time of the survey South Mountain would have been entirely within Frederick Co. A Google map link to it is here: http://g.co/maps/s2a58 You'll notice the "famous" little town of Rohrersville located in Washington Co. just west of the mountain.
