This is not a true transcription. It is in fact an extraction. I decided to use the Genealogy dating system and the state's zip code abbreviations because I could eliminate several periods and commas and stabilize spelling. I included all the information presented and in November of 2000 I added the pictures.

To provide the best pictures possible, I've broken the pages up into 5 rows. Each picture is numbered and linked to the name. (kinda). I blew the pictures up 200 Plus percent. That gives a bigger picture that will copy better. Adding the pictures took nearly as long as typing the pages....

Wish you well with your research.
