Hello all: Have finished the every name index for the 1860 census. Have begun transcribing the book "Pierce County in the World War" written 1919 about Pierce County activities and men who served in WWI. The first installment is online, pages 52-71, including photographs of all enlisted men. Had to change the menu on the front page to accomodate all the new military items, so changed the links from each individual conflict to one general. So Civil War, WWI and Korea and Vietnam can now all be found under one heading, Military on the main page. Got lots more pages to come from this book. Have had to stop postings obituaries while the Genconnect message boards are down due to an upgrade. You can still view posted messages, but can't add anything new until they are finished working on them. Hope all of you who live in Pierce County were unscathed by the recent wild weather which struck Burnett County.
