I apologize to the folks on the Maggie_Ohio list as there was no easy way to send it to everyone without resending it to your list.

Did you know GenWeb is trying to get the whole census online? How about that for an ambitious project? Have you gotten a lot of free information from the online community? This is a way you can pay back if you can get access to a census reel (rent for $3.50 from Family History Centers, or your local library, or maybe free at your local genealogical society, and some years/counties are available on paper, free, from S-K publications for this project) and a computer. GenWeb provides free, easy-to-use software and patient, sympathetic technical help. Also, takes care of making info available after you've sent it in. It's also yours to do with as you like - send to friends, libraries, archives from which you have gotten help. It's slow but worth it. Maybe you can get a group of fellow genealogists together to tackle a reel. See http://www.usgenweb.org/census/ for details on the full project. To see which reels are available for adoption (and which are already wholly or partially completed and available for searching!), check http://www.usgenweb.org/census/states.htm Jane Peppler <jpeppler@acpub.duke.edu> ==== Maggie_Ohio Mailing List ==== !^NavFont02F053D0007NGHHL3E14E4 Maggie's World of Courthouse Dust & Genealogy Fever http://www.infinet.com/~dzimmerm/mindex.html *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* God Put Me On Earth to Accomplish a Certain Number of Things.
