    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: DelawareDolores Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newjersey.counties.cumberland/2506/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Ambitious volunteers Clyde Pettit, Gene Lloyd and Marsha Thompson have transcribed and proofread the entire Cape May County census transcriptions for 1830 and 1850: http://www.us-census.org/states/newjersey/c-nj.htm#Cape% I find it much more user-friendly than Census material from Ancestry or HeritageQuest, because you can simply read the entire county in one sitting, not "feed in" surnames one at a time. It's also much quicker to click onto a page to see the exact handwriting. Why not e-mail these volunteers, to thank them? They are reached by the group address of Transcriber@US-Census.org Unfortunately, you'll also see that Cumberland and other counties are sadly lacking volunteer transcribers and proofreaders, so perhaps a couple of our readers will have the time and inclination to step in.
