I have been busy gathering data. I'm trying to spend about two weeks just gathering data on each of my North and South Carolina counties. I'm working on Polk County, North Carolina. I was at the Register of Deeds for three working days straight copying marriage and death records. I also got some old jury lists from the 1870s. As the weather permits, I am also photographing around the towns. This next week is school orientations on Monday and Tuesday, Timothy has to go back to the plastic surgeon on Tuesday, Timothy and Jonas start football practice Monday night, and school starts for Chelsea, Timothy, Jonas and Sarah on Thursday. So I probably won't be gathering much data again until Thursday, but I will be busy loading it onto pages. I've been working on something and I thought maybe others might want to do this as well. Between 1917 and 1919, there was a worldwide influenza pandemic, as I'm sure most of you know. When I go to the register of deeds and am gathering information from the death certs, I have been annotating those who died during those years from the flu. In my own records, I consider those who's cause of death is the flu and those who have a contributory cause of death as the flu. Then I compile it into a special database. Many families were wiped out during this time. Sometimes only a single child would be left alive. Physician's didn't always diagnose the flu as they do now, so sometimes the cause of death listed isn't the flu, although they died from it. If the death cert didn't state "flu" I don't include them in the database. For those who cannot access cause of death on the death certs, another source for doing something like this is the newspapers. They had not after note after note of those who died of the flu druing that time. This is only a suggestion. But my thought is that we want to stand out from other projects and have information readily available that they don't have. What better way than to make use of information that we have available and don't necessarily think about using? I try to make it a point not to put any spin on anything, but to simply put the information as available on line. Although I must admit that it is difficult!!! David, what is the site addy of St Lawrence Co and I will get it linked. I may have some data for you, too. Gail, did you get the stuff I posted for Stephenson Co, IL? I may have some more there as well. I may just take those three days next week in between doctors and orientations and just put up data for those who can use it. If we need to have Illinois full of data before September, I guess I better get busy.
