The only grant related work I was able to do was to enter the information for the Buckeye District, and Districts 10 and 11, into the database.

Week of February 3rd-7th:
This week I was able to finish 3 of the 10 districts for Frederick County for the 1840 census. Work has been made easier by using the census images available on ancestry.com. With inclement weather for Friday, I took the data sheets home and began entering the information into Access.

January 2003

Week of January 27-31st:
Most of my attention this week was diverted to other projects. I was, however, able to finish entering the information about the free black population from the 1860 census for Prince George's County into the database. The only work initially assigned to me that remains to be completed is stripping the 1840 census for Frederick County for free black heads of household, and white heads of households that include blacks, either enslaved or free.

Week of January 20-24th:
Other research projects diverted me away from UGRR research for the entire week. During the previous week, I finished stripping the 1860 census for free blacks in Prince George's County. Work began on entering the information into the database, and is about half way done. Other completed work includes runaway ads from The Baltimore Sun for 1838 and 1839, The Marlboro Gazette and Prince George's County Advertiser, and The Frederick Herald. All ads have been scanned, and information entered into the database.
