Subject: [WHITNEY-L] 1850 Census Extraction Project
Date: Sat, 11 Sep 1999 17:15:19 -0600


Hello all:

In order to figure out how we might organize the 1850 Census
Extraction Project, I've been doing some extraction of my own.
I have completed and put online full Whitney extracts for the
following locations:

Alabama
Arkansas
Allegany Co., NY

I spent the day at the library today and extracted all
Whitneys in the following states:

Delaware
District of Columbia
Florida
Georgia
Iowa
Minnesota
North Carolina
Oregon
South Carolina
Tennessee
Texas

It looks like a lot, but I started with the states with the
fewest number of Whitney families. We're now done extracting
states with 12 or fewer Whitney households. I should have
these typed in and online sometime this weekend. Watch the
"What's New" page at www.whitneygen.org.

I also photocopied the 1860 census indexes for:

Alabama
Arkansas
California
Georgia
Illinois
Iowa

I'll have these online as soon as I can.

More information on how to volunteer to help me with the 1850
project soon as well. Happy Hunting!

Tim
