Another busy month:
We now have several volunteers working on posting obituaries and old
news articles under Editor Cathe. We also have a volunteer who will be
working on posting more of the 1880 Census (Yah!!). They have just
started so next month their work will start showing up. If you have
Microsoft EXEL and the time and interest to transcribe census pages
(which would be sent to you by mail along with the template by e-mail
attachment) please contact Rita.
All the many May postings are found on:
