Hello to all! I have been reading the messages here with great interest. Thanks to Scott I have corrected the link problem on the NAA page. The problem of creating, maintaining and updating a complete data base for the Aldrich Family is quite complex. Most of all it requires somebody with lots of time and a great deal of dedication. I do commend Robert Criswell for his years of dedication to that end. I am sure he would welcome help from somebody who would help in this task. He has many pages of data which need to be added to a searchable data base. David Samuelson has been doing a fabulous job with maintaining a large Aldrich Gedcom file on the Internet. Alice has given you an excellent synopsis of the situation. Yes, our monetary resources are limited to our $5.00 membership fee. We hope by keeping it low we can entice more people to join our Association. I hope as many people as possible will come to our annual reunion in July. If there are any questions, please contact me. Please make your reservations early, as space is limited. We will be in New Hampshire at the height of the tourist season and the available rooms will fill up quickly. A great weekend has been planned! Please join the National Aldrich Association!
