Last year y'all were talking about transcribing the passenger lists for arrivals in Quebec 1870. Have you started that? If so when do you think it will be finished? Or can it be accessed now. Still looking for Adolph Watner who left Norway in 1870. Thanks

Well, the question is where "y'all" are. I am only doing this stuff here as a hobby, so I got a job and a family to look after in addition to this stuff here on the site. So to be honest, I have no clue to when it will be completed.

You might think of this site as a kind of garden where people can come to gain inspiration and harvest the fruits. The problem is that when the garden grows it might become too much work for one gardener, or two gardeners. Then, if most of the visitors just harvest the fruits without contributing something back, the growth will stop.
