-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [GV] 2 new Wyoming census indexes added, Laramie & Goshen Counties From: Patrice Miller <patrice@attbi.com> To: GER-VOLGA-L@rootsweb.com 2 new Wyoming census indexes of Germans from Russia have been added to the census list. They are for Laramie county and Goshen county. http://www.webbitt.com/volga/census.htm Gene Jenkins (jenkinsgen@nwinfo.net) completed each of these in a day, they are small by his standards, only a few hundred people each. To put it in perspective, Gene has indexed 60,000 Germans from Russia! Yes thats correct, 60,000. Kind of boggles the mind. Combine that with the 4,000 that Janet Laubhan Flickinger indexed, and we are up to 64,000. Since there were approximately 120,000 Volga Germans in America for the 1920 census according to Richard Sallet, half of the Volga Germans are indexed here. Wow, I never thought we would get that many.
