1850 Census
While the thought of transcribing an entire county's census records may seem an undaunting task, it is very rewarding. By clicking on the picture above, you can find out more on how YOU can help the project. And for those of you who are not up to transcribing an entire census year, think about the census information you have already gathered as part of your own research. Do you think others might benefit from that? I think they would! If you are willing to send me the Chesterfield County census information you've gathered as part of your own research, I'll compile here to share with others. Just think of what we could have here if everyone contributed!
