Bill,
I know what you mean about the handwriting. There are instructions about
that at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgwcens/help/
You can take as long as you need. It's a big job.

We may be interested in transcribing a census. But some concerns we
have
are
after reviewing many census records over the last few years, we find
that
in
some cases the handwriting is atrocious in some of them, and in other
cases,
the writing is so faint, it is impossible to read. Also, what would
the
time
frame be for completing each census? We have been doing extensive
research
in Allen County on the Giant Family in the Fort Wayne area for several
years
and have been to the Allen County Library many times. We live in the
Detroit, Michigan Area.
