Welcome:

missing piece of your "Ancestral Pie"

During the early years of the USGenWeb, there were Web Pages and forms put in place for the
Transcription of Census Records.
Many States and Counties participated: The files were uploaded in several places and put on County Web Pages as well.
In the interest of simplification, the files for Somerset can be found using the links below.
