Project Updates

To increase partipation in the forums we will have contests from time to time. To win you must be a member of the Perry Research Forums, which is free, and actively participate in the forums to gain points. Points are gained by posting topics, commenting on topics, and helping other researchers in the forums. Don't spam to get points though, it will be a waste of time because a moderator can simply delete bad posts and take the points away.

Prizes in these contests will range from something like books by Perry authors to something in the $200-$300 range! Contests and prizes will...

Perry Ezine Vol.1 has been a major project for me since much of 2007 didn't have an Ezine release. I started the project in Dec '07 though I first thought of it in Nov '06! The project goal is to put together all of 2007's issues of the Perry Ezine along with what was going to be released in the missing issues from myself with a few other submissions. This project has took up most of my research time, but it is now nearly finished. It is now about 90% complete and should be released next week! It contains many materials for Perry research including births, deaths, marriages, articles, census...

I am working on an online digital library for Perry researchers. It will have 1GB of storage space as of now.

The library will be the place to download the Perry Ezine as well.

To celebrate Veteran's Day and the sacrifice our troops have made, I am announcing a new project! I am putting together all of my World War I Perry draft cards, mostly from West Virginia, and searching for any others I can find so we can start a database for research. If anyone has a Perry WWI draft card posted online they want a link to or wish to email me, let me know. It may take several years, but I think it will be worth the time and effort in compiling this database for further Perry research.
