The url is ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/bastrop/vitals/births/1943/bastb43 .txt Currently two people are dividing the huge databases into counties and uploading them to the archives for the years 1926 & 1943. I'll let you know when new additions are uploaded. If you would like to know the procedure one of them uses for converting the data I can send it to you. You will need MS Access as a first step in working with the data. While I'm on the subject I need to tell you of the other things in the archives. Quite a few cemeteries, 1850 census and a few other items are available in the archives. The url is: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/tx/bastrop/basttoc.htm I am also in the process of transferring the archive project email to a Juno account. So if you have any submissions send them to genephillips@juno.com Gene Phillips USGENWEB Southeast Texas Archive manager. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
