[or-roots] Lincoln County cemeteries

[Connie Guardino]

Les, I haven't "just started" on Lincoln County cemeteries. In order to put
this info online, I have to prep it. For instance, all footnotes are lost when
I prep an online file. That means I have to go through and delete all the
footnote numbers that exist in the original text. AND I have to bold up all the
surnames. The hard work--enumerating the cemeteries--is already done. This has
to do with PRESENTATION. Slow and laborious, but it can and will be done quite
soon. Connie
