Good Morning! In preparation for the cemetery transcriptions, I've created a Township Index for Taney County, available at the website. It is arranged as easily as I could figure out how to do it. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~moarwrv/taneytownshipindex.html The towns and cemeteries for each township are listed under that township's numbers according to the system set by the federal government called Rectangular Survey System. I used the same blocking and each township is basically where it would be on a geographical map (although this is much neater than the real thing). Eventually, I will be adding the schools and other entities to the townships, such as Murder Rocks and Dewey Bald and the hollers and so forth. I've had these done for a couple of weeks, but thought to wait to upload them until we had the cemeteries transcribed. Then I realized that uploading it all at once might be a bit overwhelming; I've not seen another county page set up this way, and it might take some getting used to. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's had this idea--but most of you know, there isn't a bunch of territory for me to cover in my own research, since Greg and I both had people in the 1840 Taney Co. Census. I will have the cems alphabetically arranged as well, accessible from the main Taney page. Hopefully, I'll be able to inter-link all the pages, so you'll be able to navigate from the alpha list of cems, to the transcription of a particular cem; then you'll be able to click on the township link and see what other features are in that township or neighborhood. One advantage to doing it this way is that you'll SEE the neighboring townships, and be able to look through them for other cems or towns or "whatever" that our ancestors might have used for a post office, to bury family members, or "whatever" once again. My goal is to make it as easy as possible to learn the basic geography of Taney, and to help you remember to look in bordering areas that might help you find more information. If you are confused by now--I'm not through my coffee pot yet, so bear with me! Let me know what you think! Vonda ListMom for MOTANEY and MO-AR-WRV at Rootsweb http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~moarwrv/
