Subject: [CASANFRA] 1870 Federal census for Santa Clara County is now completed and online..
Date: Thu, 07 Mar 2002 15:01:44 -0800


I wanted to share with all the fact that I have completed in full and
have online the entire
1870 Federal Census for Alameda County. I accomplished that when I
completed Ward 2 of the City of San Jose and had it moved over this
morning.

I started this project about May, 2001 with the goal of putting online a
county I lived in for several years for the benifit of all researchers.
I firmly believe it will be of tremendous help to many. So after all
these months I am very pleased to finally share this news.

I am continuing on now with transcribing the census covering Marin
County for 1870 [most of which I have already completed and have online
as well]. I will also be starting my largest challenge--the
transcription of the 1870 Federal Census for San Francisco [all 12
Wards], which will likely take a couple of years to complete as it is so
huge....I will keep all informed as I progress through them as well..


The 1870 Santa Clara Census transcription is at:

It is my belief that this will help researchers a lot.

Sincerely,
Edward, Sr. [a native of Alameda County, born in Oakland]
