Howdy!

Problem is, I simply don't have time to go to the Forsyth Library, make copies of all his transcription notebooks (even a few pages at a time), and put them into an Access Database. I have a few transcriptions that I've done and Carol McMullin has done; it is simply a matter of time, and I'm getting bad at getting sidetracked (right at the moment, I'm trying to find my desk...). Access is fairly easy to use, and a webpage with Netscape Composer is so easy to design, even I can do them. I've considered asking the list something along the lines that Jo Dunne and the Stone Co. listers have done for the 1920 Stone Co. Census--if I made copies of the notebooks, separated the pages into a few "piles", and mailed them out to y'all, if some of you would volunteer the time to put them into Access. I have Bob's list of cems pretty much done in a webpage, but there are no transcriptions of them at the moment on the one I've got designed, and I'm trying to figure an easier way to work it. So I'll ask--If I go to the library and make copies of Bob's notebooks, would some of you volunteer to put them into Access or even a Works Database, save them on a floppy, and mail it back to me? I've even got hundreds of floppys (thanks to being married to a technogadgetjunkie LOL) that I can mail with the pages. The only other thing I'll ask is to NOT ask me to pick and choose cems. I realize it's more exciting to do the ones your people are buried in, but if volunteers will just jump in and get them done, it'll be amazing how soon they get done. I will put them in webs for the WRV/Taney page, much like the marriages are now, with a few tweaks for cems, as I get them back. And each volunteer will get credit for database transcription. I had hoped to get more accomplished this summer (I sound like my mother now...), but what's done is done, and I've got to go back to work in the next couple of weeks. Email me personally at mailto:[email protected] if you would like to volunteer for this project. Vonda
