Good morning. To assist anyone who wishes to submit a pension abstract, I've posted to the Wayne County page a copy of our pension abstract form and some instructions for doing the abstract. To view and print out the form, first please go to the instructions page at http://www.netease.net/wayne/penabins.htm The form itself is at http://www.netease.net/wayne/penabform.htm Please remember if you are abstracting a pension record, or any record for that matter, DO NOT include information which is not in the record. If you wish to add extra-documentary information, please do so on a separate sheet. The whole purpose of doing an abstract is to extract only the information contained in the document without compromising its integrity. If you have a question about a date, the spelling of a name or place name, the indicate that with [?] beside your interpretation of the handwriting. That way, future researchers will know that you couldn't decipher someone "chicken scratching" and can check the original record for themselves. Appreciate the messages from those who are sending in pension abstracts. Hope the little form will help you in your task. Edgar Edgar D.
