transcriber. Congratulations Dennis! |

The process of transcribing is progressing
at an agonizingly slow pace. A new policy
that I just adopted is to phase out the use
of "MAILTO:" links. This is because SPAMmers
have 'spider' software which gleans attractive
gems like that from web pages, and the spammers
sell them for money, and make everyone's life
worse.
Presently there are about 3 county-years that
are being actively transcribed. So, if you
stumbled in here and just read this, you might
consider volunteering to do at least a township
of one of Iowa's 99 counties for 1856, 1885
or maybe even 1925. Drop me a note, at:

A lot of data has been transcribed and placed
on the Internet. It's winter now, and many
of you may be better able to find time to visit
the libraries and transcribe census records.
Well, maybe *after* Christmas....
I'm adding a link in the LINKS page to a place
where you can get some help reading OLD handwriting.
It's a great source. Kermit |
