Tasks

Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help.

• Attaching and/ or creating every individual on each Census sheet.
• Adding tags and Categories to every profile attached to each Census sheet.
• 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!
