Makes me look more senile than I really am.

We're taking it nice and easy on these transcriptions, not rushing through them or pushing hard to get all of them on within a year. You'll understand here in a sec why I say that.

We're going to need volunteers to help transcribe death certificates. We have the ability to transcribe ALL the death certificates for Breckinridge County from 1911-1953. It's going to be quite an undertaking, and will take over a year to get done, but it will be such an invaluable research tool for anyone having family that is connected to, or died, in Breckinridge County.

Remember, too, that the information is only as good as the person who gave it... so there may not be correct information in parts, or may be missing information. Of the information possibly available to see/obtain:

The specific template would be what information from the death certificate would be typed into... and then a copy sent to me (if the transcriber didn't want to/couldn't submit the individual record).

On my end, I'd not only be working on connecting them all up in the Death Certificates area, but making a link to the cemetery pages as well. For those that have no listing, or no clear listing, of burial location, I'm presently working on an idea to have "Unknown burial site" link. It would be where we could hopefully begin to identify through you guys where different ones have been interred without markers. By doing so, it will help to give as complete a cemetery listing as possible... plus help the Archives. So far to date, about 10 individuals without markers have been added to the GoodHope cemetery due to the Death Certificates. That's not including what Karen and Fay have been able to do through their work there. This is also a good way to make sure no one is forgot!
