Hi All, Linda has asked those of you who live near Marshall Co to pick a cemetery and try re-reading it. I live in California, so I read the info on the net . Ann Varley asked me how I got the names off the sites, which gives me an idea that I am going to throw out to all of you. I am interested in the surnames listed below, some of you may be interested in these same surnames, the rest of you are probably interested in other names. If you want to take your surnames and place them in a database. We can present them to Linda to be combined into one giant database of all surnames in alphabetical order. Now as to the method I used to get the data into my data base: 1. Used the "Save AS" in the file menu of my browser to save each cemetery to my hard drive. 2. Made these field names in a data base: Lname Gname Birthdate Death Date Death Age County Cemetery Inscription New Submit (this I just added as it would be a good idea to have a person to contact, who had submitted new information, for anyone who might want to contact them personally) 3. Each cemetery saved was in a plain text document. I imported this document into my word processor program. 4. I copied just the surnames, I was interested in, from the cemetery and made a new document with them. 5. I used my"Find/Replace" function in the word processor to remove ","s between Surname and Given name and replace with 5 spaces. 6. I used my"Find/Replace" function in the word processor to remove "."s between words with one space. Since there were ..... between words, it turned out to be about 5 spaces between words. 6. Then I "Copied" the data from the word processing document, opened the database and "Pasted" the data into it. (This is like having tab delimited data). 7. Usually the information was in the correct column, if it wasn't, it was a simple matter to copy from one column and paste into another column. Now, if you think I'm using a very advanced wordprocessor and database program, I'm using Works 3.0 published in 1992 and has been done away with and replaced by Office 98 after several other upgrades. Here are the names I have pulled from the Marshall Co Cemeteries listed on the Marshall Co Genweb site. I really don't want to do look-ups with this information, I had hoped to get Linda to post it when I had found all I was interested in. Then everyone can look for themselves.
