A Census packet will be snail mailed to you.

Watch for an e-mail labeled:
THANK YOU FOR VOLUNTEERING.
It will contain census instructions for your
level of EXCEL proficiency (yes, you must own, or have access, to
EXCEL to
participate) and an attachment copy of the census format the we
are using.

You will have three weeks (from the time that you recieve your
packet) to
complete the data entry and e-mail it back to .
This will not cost you anything. All the cash needed for this
project has
already been raised, the copies are ready to be mailed to you.
You will have technical support---just an e-mail away.
You will be contributing to making Irish Census
data free, to all, forever.
You will become a part of history.
