PROJECT
DESCRIPTIONS |
|
| Listed below are descriptions of each of the
planned projects for this Website. If a project has
"Not Started" after the title, no progress has yet been
made on it. If a project has
"In-work" after the title, the status of the project is
given on our Home Page. |

Birth records
from the Madison County Courthouse, newspaper articles, censuses, and family
submissions will be transcribed and put on-line. Records newer than
100 years old will
not be posted because of privacy issues. County birth records in the
early years are sparse. What was available has been posted. We are
now in the process of adding to that data from the newspapers and
the 1885 & 1895 censuses. This is a tedious process and will
take several years to complete.

Death Record Index

Working
with death records from the Madison County Courthouse, newspaper
articles, obituaries and family submissions, a year-by-year index
of deaths in Madison County will be compiled. The
information will include the full name, date of death, place
of death or place of residence at time of death and burial place
when available. Also included will be both those
buried out of state and those who died out of state and are buried
in Madison County. |

Cemetery Index
Upgrade (In-work) |
|
As
a result of the Madison County gravestones project, the Cemetery
Index is being continually upgraded as new stones and/or data are
found. We have also started a systematic gleaning of death notices
and obituaries from the Madison County newspapers. This activity
will take several years to complete. |
