Call me skeptical... when I received an email asking us to submit our 1890 family by April 2000 in order to recreate the fire-destroyed census for that year, it sounded like a hoax to me. I personally emailed the person behind this project and have received an email. She also has a webpage with updates: <A HREF="http://sites.netscape.net/chinadoll2/1890census">1890 Census Project</A> Her latest update says she has received info on 750 households. Just wanted to pass along the results of this skeptic's research :-) God bless, Deb
