If you will be transcribing for a census year that is not included in the
CART or
CenTrans program,
we have templates for all years and some specialty census records.
The common formats are MSExCel Spreadsheet,
MSWorks Spreadsheet, and Tab
Text Templates. For MAC users we have a coordinator
who specializes in MAC's and will help you with those templates.
We have the following Templates Available:
[Note: These are zipped and are also available by request from
Maggie Stewart.
Please use "templates" as the subject of your email and include
what year and type of template that you need.]
