Census Info

Your Help with Knox County Data!

Much thanks to Michele for this idea! 

Census ... Marriage ... Cemeteries ... 

Have you ever wanted to contribute your efforts to help out with "Our Knox Site", but don't have the time or the access to transcribe a whole group of public records?  Well, now here's your chance to contribute!  This forum is based upon submissions made by Knox County researchers, like you, who would like to make the information in the records that you have personally looked up and recorded available to other researching the same people.  Just think of all of the time and money that could be saved if every genealogist would post the information they have gathered on a public site like this one.  In no time at all, we would have most of the censuses transcribed ONLINE!

So, if you have KNOX COUNTY public records that you have PERSONALLY researched  (i.e. submissions of scanned data from published sources CANNOT be accepted.  Data from the ACTUAL records themselves are FREE from copy right and CAN  be submitted for inclusion in the forums below.  Just download the file that is applicable to the data you are submitting).  E-mail the info to Michele mcragg at intersigns dot net or to Claudia cminor at webmoondance dot com. Please use the samples of information below, which includes valuable information listed below each record type.  If that information is not listed on the record, please indicate this in your email.  Copied data from the ACTUAL records themselves are FREE from copyright and CAN be submitted for inclusion in the this forum, look below to contribute and down load the files to get you started on your way!

See Census data here for examples!

Thank you for your efforts ! 

If you have a photocopy of a page of census records (such as a microfilm copy), please feel free to submit each of the names on that page, instead of just the name of your ancestor. Our database will grow more quickly this way! 
NOTE: Please do NOT submit records for individuals who are still living in this forum. They will not be posted.
