In section 27, the spot where she's talking about washing the quilts, I did not understand what the words were supposed to mean. I just read them the best I could, without understanding. If you figure out what they're supposed to mean, I would be fine with reading them a little more understandably. :P

clarifying script for ends of sections 32 and 33

end of 32 has in parentheses: (Recorded in Deed Book on Page 155 at Morganfield, Kentucky.)

end of 33 has in parentheses: (Will Book B., P.9, at Morganfield, Kentucky.)

are these considered footnotes and thus should be left out of the recording?

I would read them just as written. I think they are part of the bill of sale.

Thanks for checking!

Thank you for your interest in this project!

I see you have passed your test recording, so you're good to go.
There only 2 open sections left, 40 Easter Sudie Campbell and 46 Cora Torian. I prefer that you make the choice, so take a look at them and let me know which one you would like. Make sure it is something you're comfortable reading. (The next volume in this series will be launching shortly).

Then, let me know exactly how you would like to be listed in the LibriVox catalog. This can be your real name, pseudonym, or any nickname/handle you wish. This is how you will be credited for all of you LV work.

Glad to have you joining us :)

Thanks for your response, but after reading, those selections are beyond my ability. I will look for another project. I will listen to what others have recorded and try to improve.

Going to ask first, as you suggested, Larry. Section 13 Rev John R. Cox has Boyd County as heading and his name. Does this mean that
for the last line of the intro before recording I'll be reading the section name as "Boyd County Rev. John R. Cox"?
