David Morgan was kind enough to share this Status Report..... I think it
really does show the progress that GA has made. When you compare Dec 27
2000 with Dec 27 2001 it really is amazing!
So keep up the GREAT work you're all doing! I plan to keep encouraging
people to send us data, and hope each of you will do the same with your
respective counties. (Let me know if I can help in any way)
Please help me encourage people to work on the Census. We really do need
them on-line. Even though Ancestry may have the images, they are difficult
to read, and search, so I think there is a still a BIG need for transcribing!
