Subject: [NS-L] Census Spreadsheet Available


>2 weeks ago I finished a project to create a spreadsheet to organize all of
>my U.S. federal census data accumulated over the years. I posted notices
on
>several lists to offer a free copy to anyone who wanted one. The response
>was incredible!
>
>To date I have e-mailed over 800 copies. The load was so heavy that I put
>up a website to allow anyone to download a copy. In 6 days the site has
>over 13,000 hits.
>
>I knew I was tired of having my census data on paper, scattered and
>disorganized, but I had no idea so many others were in the same situation.
>
>Yesterday I finished a Canadian version which is ready for download. It
>covers the 1851-1901 censuses.
>
>The U.S. and Canadian spreadsheets were created in Microsoft Excel and to
>use it you will need a spreadsheet program at least as recent.
>
>If you come around my spreadsheet website at
>http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~minder/ you can see some screen shots of the
>spreadsheet, read a Frequently Asked Questions page, get information on
what
>specific spreadsheet programs work and which don't...and download a copy.
