Hi list - just one update for today. Thanks to Betty Matteson Rhodes' patience in putting up with someone (me) who just two days ago learned that you could take tabulated text and turn it into a table without having to crunch every little piece of data, we now have about 350 names from the 1860 Venango Township (Index data) portion of the federal census. Betty ended up sending me about 4 different versions before I figured out the secret. To follow-up on Mike's e-mail, today was 63 degrees in Erie, a new record high, and Saturday it is supposed to be 20 degrees. The huge cake of ice that used to be my 18 Ft swimming pool that was 4 feet high is still almost 2 feet high (the almost 20 year old low end model above ground pool finally went about a month ago under the weight of the ice and snow that built up on the cover). Point being that even with 63 degrees, little solid ice melted. I did get one of my downed trees cut up, but noticed that another one will probably come down tonight with our high winds. (It is split and leaning, and the roots are half out). I too have been having some genealogy success - not a direct relative but my 1st cousin's Uncle from Australia has been in contact with me on-line and has sent a GED file with about 50 Price names (a Price (now long ago deceased) married my mother's sister producing 4 children, 6 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren) so if I ever run out of material to post on the Erie site, I can produce some good ancestor reports for all my cousins.
