I've taken on the task of transcribing the entire 1870 census of Mercer County for the GenWeb Census Project. Before being posted on their web site, it will need to be transcibed (about a year's worth of work) and then proofread (another 3 - 6 months). But I am reluctant to keep it out of researchers hands until then. So, as I finish each Township, I'll make it available to list members, BUT, please understand that it will not have been proofread. If anyone is interested, I'll send an edited version of the census (family and dwelling number, name,and age). If you find someone your interested in, I'll then send the completer census entry (which also includes occupation, net worth, place of birth, foreign birth of parents, school attendance, etc). I have finished the first township, Cool Spring. Contact me if you'd like the edited list of entries for this township. Regards, John MacDonald
