    3. Hello - Well February has been a rather slow month for me due to recuperating from a work injury-but things seem to be on the up-swing now and I am hoping to get back into my regular routine. With going back to work and PT three times a week please be patient when I may be a little slow in responding. Also we will have a new name to add to our personal family research as our son is getting married on May 12, so this is a busy time also with wedding plans, etc. Well enough about me! The next major project for the Waupaca County Website is going to be transcribing the census. This will be a long and some times tedious project, but well worth the efforts. I want to thank Patti Wenham who will be assisting with the transcription and Geraldine Trirud who has agreed to proof read. Hopefully in the next month this project will be off the ground and moving forward. Also with Spring around the corner (I'm ready for it too!) I will be back at visiting some of the Waupaca County cemeteries for photos. If you have a gravesite you are interested in seeing placed on the website, please email the information to me. I can not promise that I will find or photo the gravesite, but the more information you can give me on the location of the gravesite will improve my chances of finding it. Although I would love to, time does not permit me to do the research in finding your family gravesites, but if you can do the research and email me the information on the location of the gravesite I will do my best to locate it. I use a digital camera and do not have copies of the photos to send to you but I can email you a copy of the digital photo if you wish. As there is still some snow on the ground here at this time, I am hoping to be back at this project in the coming month also. I want to thank all of the researchers who have submitted information for postings this past month. Remember, you may find that "brick wall" or lost cousin by sharing your information on the query board. Some of you may be asking when are the births or deaths from the Wisconsin Pre-1907 Birth and Deaths indexes for Waupaca COunty going to be posted for my surname? I must admit this has not been one of my favorite projects. But I will make every effort to get back to this project and get it completed.
