The goal of this project is to ... To collect sheets from the TWELFTH Federal Census
Right now this project just has one member, me. I am Debra Downs.
Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help.
- Collecting all entire/complete Census sheets
- Attaching them to each individual profile as source, on Wikitree
- Label each sheet with place.
- Dividing them into State, finally County, as more are collected.
Will you join me? Please post a comment here on this page, in G2G using the project tag, or send me a private message here or at debie_lou@inbox.com. Thanks!
