Without you, it definitely would not have gotten completed this quickly and been made available to others researching this county. Whether you transcribed and/or proofread or were just standing by in case we needed more help, or just to give us moral support, you are very much appreciated. Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart. I have thoroughly Enjoyed working with all of you. Sincerely, Sandy Onbey ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Note: For those of you using these files in your research, please bear in mind that we transcribe what was actually written as best we can. Some of the "old" handwritting is very difficult to read and many times was written as it "sounded" so check any variations of the spellings. Also, the enumerator on this census did not indicate the color of many individuals and on some just used a check mark...the closest we could come was a '/' mark.
