Elmira History Forge: Discovering Local Stories by Andrea Renshaw, Elmira HistoryForge Project Coordinator, and Missy Rozengota, Elmira HistoryForge volunteer
Elmira HistoryForge is off to a running start after our first weekend! We have 363 records down and 36,813 to go in the 1910 census. Thank you to all of our new volunteers! Check out all of their hard work at www.elmira.historyforge.net. They have been transcribing Elmira's first ward downtown near Railroad Avenue and heading west toward Davis Street. By selecting The Forge, you can see these records populated in their homes on the 1903 Sanborn map. You will be amazed at the interesting people you will find. To kick off Women's History month one of our volunteers, Missy Rozengota, is sharing an amazing woman she found in the 1910 census; Mrs. Anna Campbell Palmer. (READ MORE)
