New genealogy website: mortalityschedules.com   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #182 of 244 |
Hi all,
A new web site is now online, http://www.mortalityschedules.com and it
is a directory of every found transcription of the census mortality
schedules 1850-1880, arranged by state and county. There is a
search box as well that lets you search through all of them at one
time for your surnames. It is not an exhaustive resource for
mortality schedules but it has about 1500 county transcriptions listed.
Hope this helps.

... Yes, digital storage makes for a binary result, it would either still be perfect, or it would have lost a few bits along the way and would be a pixelated...

Without knowing the technical details, the idea makes sense, but I wonder if the Library of Congress, under their NDIPP program, would be the more appropriate...
