Hello, everyone I have constructed an alphabetized index to the complete Mercer Co. 1850 Census. Before sending requests, read on first. By way of example, here are all the Hofxxx entries (Surname, given name, township, schedule, line, dwelling, family): Hoffered Burwell Sandy Creek 35 8 669 678 Hoffered Emily Sandy Creek 35 7 669 678 Hoffered J. M.

I would like to put out a CD-ROM disc with the full 1850 Mercer Co. census *and* alphabetized index, both in text and database (Excel) format. I don't have a ROM burner yet though- they cost about $500, then there's the cost of discs, shipping, my time, etc.. So I would need, for example, about 30 orders at $20 ea. to make it worthwhile. I AM NOT TAKING ORDERS AT THIS TIME, merely trying to find out if there is interest. If you would like to see such a CD ROM, please send a *Brief* e-mail to me at Richard_Winder@bc.sympatico.ca stating preferred file format, and cost, and I will let everyone know if it looks like it will happen. Please be patient, I will be away from my computer for most of August. Many people have contacted me regarding the census, and I am pleased that so many have found it to be useful. I hope to continue efforts to make Mercer Co. info. available, but I hope you all will forgive me if I give my eyeballs a rest for now, and, well, at least try to get myself a CD burner out of the deal!

Look for a 3 year old Martha Hoffius and you may find her parents. *********************** Bob Bowers Lexington, MA boblex@ma.ultranet.com Seniors and Computers - an unbeatable combination!!!!!
