Another busy month: We now have several volunteers working on posting obituaries and old news articles under Editor Cathe. We also have a volunteer who will be working on posting more of the 1880 Census (Yah!!). They have just started so next month their work will start showing up. If you have Microsoft EXEL and the time and interest to transcribe census pages (which would be sent to you by mail along with the template by e-mail attachment) please contact Rita.
