Subject: RE: A couple questions from the Newbie
Hello all. I have the 1850 jay county census on order and its been a few
weeks so it should probably be in soon. (yes..up here in Canada census
records from the US have to be ordered, only three at a time, and it can
take up to 8 weeks for them to come.) While I am looking through it, I may
take the time to transcribe some of it. I would like to put it on the jay
county site. What do I need to know/do? Since I am leaving the site on
rootsweb, do I just give the records to someone who puts them in the
rootsweb archives and then I hot link from the county page , or do I just
put it on the page directly? If I give it to roots web, what format does it
have to be in?
Amy - I'd contact the Indiana Archivist - Fred Finkbiner <smile> First I'd
check and make sure that Jay County 1850 Census has not been recorded and
then sign up for the census. The Census project has a format to type these
census records in which is really neat. Fred can fill you in on this...
Before the Census project started I had census typed in document form on
Microsoft Word and I saved them to a txt file and uploaded them... However
the format the Census project has is great!
Also, betty, on the front IN welcome page Jay stills says "adopt me" and
has Fred's name. I am not in a huge rush to fix this as you know I will be
away for 10 day, but thought I'd mention it.
I'll fix that for you Amy - I was waiting til you had your page all set up
and notified me it was ready to go. So I'll try to get to that today...
Also...(so many questions today!) is the rootsweb server a UNIX
server?
There are some things I would like to do with dynamic html, but it can't
run on a UNIX server.
That I don't know... I would suggest if you have MIRC to go into Rootsweb
Chat and ask Doc Schneider or someone familiar with the server...
BTW: thanks for the lovely description of IN in the fall, Betty. The leaves
are all off the trees here (how depressing!)
Your welcome!
I think thats all for now :0)
