    1. Update on the Sumter 1820 Census
    2. Cynthia Ridgeway Parker
    3. The 1820 census may be much easier and faster to load very soon. A gentleman has contacted Barbara about converting the graphic files to text. He did a practice run on one of the pages and it turned out great. I was able to format it into an html table in about 10 minutes. (By the time I get practiced at it and get rolling, it will take me 5 minutes or so for each one. I have gotten very good at copy and paste.) The table files will load in no time. We are hoping that he will be able to have the time to do all of the pages. I have OCR software and had tried doing it myself but my scanner is black and white and it just wouldn't convert the file. So, don't worry about the pages not linking, etc. for a bit. I am not going to fix anything right now since it may all very soon be changed to text. The result will be 14 fast loading pages instead of 71 slow as molassas ones. Hopefully we can get the 1790 ones done too. Cindy
