Hi - my name is Judi Burns, I live in Indiana and I love genealogy.
I will gladly accept any submissions for this site. Just e-mail them to the e-mail
address provided at the bottom of this page and others, It already contains the
subject line incorporated into it for your convinence.
I had one inquiry as to if I wanted Washington co. Obits. It was of 3 to 4 surnames
and the e-mail came sometime around 15 Sep. 2005. I received the e-mail
but was unable to reply to it, forward it, save it, print it out or open it all
it demanded of me was to install something for my IE browser - since I have enough
trouble with this computer I dared not and I am sure I have all the updates for IE
that is for Windows 95. I am sorry I could not get back to you - if you are out
there will you try again? New computer - XP promise to try get this all
reorganized better soon.
I am unable to look up, transcribe or locate and obituary for you. Please refer to
Obituary Tips for help on finding an obituary. Or you may try Obit Look-up
Volunteers.
To help make my job as coordinator easier follow the following instructions for
a word file (text) attachment to an e-mail. Other wise an e-mail with all the necessay
information needed will be acceptable:
Transcriber Guidelines
Uploaded files will be in a text format (.txt).
This is the recommended format that files should be submitted.
Please use font type 'Courier New', size 10pt (plain text).
Avoid using tabs, as columns do not always line up correctly in all browsers when
tabs are used.
Full obit transcriptions will only be accepted from newspapers that have given
permission or those in the Public Domain (ie., pre-1929). Place the name of the deceased
at the head of the transcription followed by the name of newspaper; date of publication;
and Volume # Issue # page # and Column # if known but not mandatory. Transcribe the
obit as written and if correcting spelling or dates place the corrected information
within brackets []. This is an example of the basic format:
