Hello,
The purpose of this report is twofold. First, I wanted to remind you that the entire
1850 census for what is now Washington is online in our WA GenWeb Archives. This
comprises the counties of Clark and Lewis in that year. Eventually, the US GenWeb Census
Project will have the Federal Census for every county in every year online.
Until now, 1850 was the only census year in WA that I could make assignments in. I can
now make assignments for 1860 and 1870 to PC volunteers, and in any year to Mac
volunteers. It is USGW Census Project policy to offer first choice in county assignments
to the respective County Coordinators. If any of you wish to transcribe your county in
any of these years, please contact me. In a week or so I will announce assignment
availability to the general lists. For information regarding the Project please go to:

I am in charge of the Project in thirteen states, including Washington.
Thank you,
Kevin Fraley (Swimref(a)cmc.net)
Asst. National Coordinator, USGW Census Project
