Myra, If you would like to send the transcriptions to me I will gladly post them on the web site for other researchers. Sounds like you and Keith have been busy! : ) Is anyone else interested in transcribing census records so we can place them up online for everyone? Please let me know if you are interested.

I am now working on the 1900 census.

Diane, First I want to give a great big "THANK YOU" for the hard work you are doing for genealogy research related to Duplin County. The computer and the internet have certainly changed the way genealogy is done in the last 20 years. Many people worked hard the "old fashioned" way to provide material for our use today, and their work is Copyrighted. Although the 1790 census is already online, it is copyrighted. I don't know the procedure for getting permission to also post it on the Duplin County web page. I think just writing to the one who transcribed them and asking permission might be all that is necessary. Other years that have been transcribed may have been copyrighted also. If people volunteer to transcribe from an image of the original for you to post, I don't think there is a problem with posting it even though someone else may have already transcribed and copyrighted it. However, it might be well for you to talk with someone knowledgeable of copyright laws regarding this. Just an idea to consider.

Lura, I appreciate your compliments. The Duplin site is really starting to come together and with the help of many other people it is getting to be a great place to look for information. I really appreciate all of the volunteers who send information to be added to the site, I have something new just about daily now and hopefully it will continue to grow. As for the census records, as long as the person that transcribes them does so from the original census records or a microfilmed copy of the original record there is no copyright law on it. They cannot however copy and paste someone else's work and call it their own, that would be a violation of the copyright laws. That is the reason I have asked for people that have access to Ancestry or to another place (such as a library) that would have either microfilmed copies or copies of the original census records themselves to volunteer to transcribe them for the Duplin site. Transcribing the census records will be a very long and time consuming process and I am sure there aren't many people willing to help with the project but, it is worth it to ask, as you never know who may step forward and volunteer to help, expecially since winter is coming on and it is so cold to go out and do much of anything else it would be a great way to spend a few hours, and would be an excellent addition for the Duplin site. Not everyone can afford the subscription prices for Ancestry and the other sites hence the reason I would like to get them transcribed and up online. I am due to have a baby within the next few weeks, so I am going to start transcribing some census records, starting with the 1790 census. I can't promise how long it will take me as I also have a 2 1/2 year old running around but I am going to start on it tonight and see if I can get it up and online by the end of the week. It is still warm down here in Alabama, so my son goes out to play and I can work on it then, during his naps and at night Hopefully I can get the 1790 up by the end of the week and then move on to the 1800 and so on from there. As always, if anyone would like to help with this project, transcribing a cemetery or has any information to share with other researchers that they would like to contribute to the site please feel free to send the info to me and I will get it posted as quickly as possible.
