Dear Ann,

Greetings from Seattle!
BUT a transplanted Mississippian from Hamburg.

One Suggestion: Put your data in Excel form. It will be
much easier to shuffle the data.

Will the complete census (not just index)be available?

It is currently being proofread by Nancy and therefore there may be some errors. I am not indexing this in the normal, limited way of just last name and page. I have found that is very limited in use for the average amateur genealogist! So I have listed the index in the following manner:
