Hi All, I am sending this to several lists that might be interested in this project. Or to anyone just to let you know this is online now. I have been coordinating several Census projects to get them put online for all to view. Right now the area I am working on getting online is Martin Co. Kentucky. For those of you who do not know what this is Im talking about let me explain. There is a company called S&K Publications. They will, for a price order from the national archives the census film of the original hand written census. Then they scan these pages into images and put them on a CD for purchase. This company will not scan a county with out a minimum amount of money that is needed to hire them to do this (price depends on how large the county was). For Martin County Kentucky this is the table of cost: 1880=4 Contributors at $20 each 1900=6 Contributors at $20 each 1910=8 Contributors at $20 each 1920=8 Contributors at $20 each We as a group have gotten the 1880 Census online for all of you to view. You can view it at this address: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ky/martin/census/1880/0000read.htm The images online are great but much smaller than the images on the CD. The ones on the CD allow you to zoom in much closer before distorting. Sometimes you can even see into those really dark area's that we all hate when we look at them through a reader. We have sent for the 1900 Martin Co. Census and expect that to be online in the next few months. We still need a few people to help us with 1910 and 1920. If you are interested please email me and I will invite you to join our Martin Co Census CD mail list. Donna Lloyd please contact me, I have lost touch with you. Your CD is ready. Please contact me by email if anyone has any questions. [email protected] Sherry
