° Census Transcription Project
The membership voted to undertake a project to transcribe the 1830-1920 Escambia County Census schedules. The project is ongoing and needs volunteers to copy 
pages from the census microfilm, enter the information into a spreadsheet format, 
and proofread. The final product is a transcribed census available in a printed publication, or online. If you are willing to volunteer for this project, contact Jerry Merritt, Project Chairman. See the results of this project in Publications
 
°  Funeral Home Records Project
Many members of the WFGS are working as volunteers with the West Florida Regional Library to index surnames to the Fisher Pou Funeral Home Records 
dated between December 1926 and August 1979. 
 
°  The Escambia County Heritage Book
Project Chairperson Cynthia Dean, phone (850) 432-7072 , or e-mail, reports that the Heritage Book is in process. There is still no definite delivery date, although hopefully it will be before the first of the year. We are told to expect what has already been described as an awesome publication! 
 
° Inventory Update of WFGS-WFRL Genealogy Collection
Members of the WFGS and community volunteers at the West Florida Regional Library have worked hard to update the inventory of the combined genealogical collection of the WFGS-WFRL. All that remains is compiling the database, in 
which volunteers are currently spending many hours.
Point of contact: Judy Jolly, Chairperson.
