A list member has sent me some copies of original tax lists, and I'm wondering if any of you would be willing to take on a transcription, for the list and for the Chester County genweb archives. You wouldn't have to do the whole thing at one time, but could work on it at your own pace, do a bit and then add it to what you've already done by posting the new info to the list (so it will appear in our archives)...AND, Cyndie at the genweb archives will gladly include any additions, when you have new transcriptions. They aren't too hard to read....but do take a bit of experience with old script. Anyone whose looked at any sort of documents from the 1700s won't have too much trouble, as they are in good shape. I have the following, if any is of a particular interest; 1722 Chester Co Tax Rates (I've started on this one) 1725 " " ( Aston, Bethel and Birmingham missing) 1726 " 1729 1730 1732 My feeling is that only the names need be extracted. If anyone is willing, let me know....and, allow me time to have another copy made....I don't wish to let the original copy go without another, backup copy. Your full name and mailing address is all I'll need, plus the year you're interested in.) If you decide to take a year on, be sure to check the tax lists already done, on the Chester site, under Tax and landowners. I've done various townships in various years, so you sure don't want to bother with something that's already been done. (for example, there are a good many from 1725 that I've already done .)
