Many of you have already seen this but thought I would pass it on to
those who haven't. It was passed on to subscribers of Larry Stephens
lists (Deep-South-Roots, NC/SC-Roots, etc).
============
The 1895 Atlas project was begun by me (Pam Rietsch [prietsch(a)ismi.net])
last year to help people who had hit a brick wall when they went to look
for a town that was listed on either a land record, birth, death or
marriage certificate. Looking in an atlas of today often finds that
these old towns do not exist anymore, so anyone can click on the atlas
at my site, then go to the state they are researching in, then to the
letter of the town and a lot of the times find the town they are
missing. With the data available in the tables, one can find the county
the town was in, the population in 1895, the area of the state that the
town was in, and whether or not the town had a post office, railroad or
an express office. I now have 34 states
complete and I am currently working on Alabama after just finishing
Texas. The listing included below is the
final order of the last remaining 14 states to be done. People can check
out the front page of my site and it always teel approximately where I
am with the completion of any state, or go right to that state page and
see what letters they can click on and get data. Because a lot of people
wanted to search the maps themselves, I have already uploaded the entire
map section of the atlas for the U.S. They are large files but if
patient
someone can search them and find many of the towns listed in the index.
TEXAS is complete!!! Alabama is just beginning....
Below is the final order of the requested states on the 1895 atlas
project.
I am now working on # 2 on the final request list, or Alabama! which
Missouri will be #3, North Carolina will be #4, Indiana will be #5.
Arkansas will be #6, Oregon will be #7, Vermont will be # 8, Maine will
be #9, Tennessee will be #10, Colorado will be #11, California will be
#12, Georgia will be #13, Connecticut will be #14, North Dakota will
become #15, and a few people did request Mississippi, so it will be the
last state completed in the project, or #16.
This site is great for locating lost towns you need to find counties to
research records if the towns are no longer around. See below for site
address......
and remember to hug!! As always, the cost for this information is for
you to go out and give someone a hug right now, whether they feel they
need it or not because time is so fleeting, they may not be there next
time you have the urge.
