All-in-all, 11.5 hours. Guess it’s kinda good that winter came back for a weekend, otherwise it wouldn’t have gotten done. Not that it had to be done. But most of these things I create for myself anyway. Eases in searching for surnames with a variety of spellings, like ‘Phettiplace’ or ‘Raner’.  Same thing for the Sound-based Database for the Syracuse Baptisms journal. When I originally received the journal issue in late 2006 and offered to do look-ups, I figured it’d be a lot easier to do a thorough job if all the names were in a database and I could search based on sound calculations instead of how I thought they might be alternatively spelled. Hence a multi-year (decade?) project, complete with accusations of copyright violations from I-know-everythingers on the NY Onondaga listserv (not including the transcriber; I have his permission).

As for the character in the ‘missing’ image for the 404 not found page, it is the capital H from the LTOffix character set over at fonts.com.

And it works…
