Steve and Bunny, We all appreciate your efforts in posting the tax lists. However, as a commercial venture, I think the following might be more successful: What genealogists really need are yearly lists by county from 1782-1810 or longer. It is important to have every year because much important information about children may show up in only a few years. Moreover, it helps to pinpoint dates when people moved or when land was transferred to heirs. I think people only need the original lists. I have found that I really did not need an index, although it was helpful. I usually found that I could recognize my surname by scanning the lists. Complete indexes for certain years could be useful since they can be automated and surname lookups sold. KY also has tax lists for all its counties. They are readily available on microfilm from HeritageQuest. TLC Genealogy will do a surname search up to 1799. They are very useful in identifying children when there is no will or recorded property division. It makes KY a breeze compared to NC and TN for the period up to 1850. The slaves category is especially useful in identifiying people. I used the numbers to straighten out some migration links in my family--you know the problem: you have three people named John in VA and the three show up in KY the same year. The biggest problem may be convincing people of their utility. I have found older genealogies in which the year by year analysis was done. Yet I find little mention of it on the internet. Many people are surprised by the amount of info when I send them spreadsheets with family data extracted. However, I have noticed more people asking about the lists lately. As a way to test the market, you might offer Xeroxes of one letter of the alphabet for both districts in a county for a certain fee per year. Parts of some years may be bad, but it is better than nothing. In fact, selling CD's for all A's, B's, etc., even might be the best way to do it. Researchers would have the choice of spending money on a hotel in Richmond or paying for the copies and sitting at home with a cup of coffee. I don't mind paying people for their work. It is the most efficient way to get the information out. I view the transcribers, paid or not, as our best friends in the business. There is no quicker way to get an overview of your whole family than by using their works. Previous generations of genealogists, who just had dusty files to search, often got tunnel vision focusing on their own line.
