There are a number of Admin. type things to share but I'll spread them over several messages and will try to keep them short and sweet. I have added two links to the BLANCHARD-L Web Page at: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~blanch-l/blpref.html The first is called "Blanchard Links" and takes you to a page where BLANCHARD (and name variants) "databases and data sets on other servers" will be offered. The first of these is "Descendants of Azariel BLANCHARD which is on the CortlandNYGenWeb Page and was prepared by David C. Crankshaw. Several of you know David and have been helped by the wonderful collection of data he has prepared. Azariel settled in the area around Cortland Co. and many, many of his descendants stayed in the region. David was a resident of Cortland Co. until two years ago when he moved to FL. His wife descends from Azariel. Some of Azariel's descendants are also reported in Pat Curry's George BLANCHARD database since Azariel descends from Thomas - George - George - William. If you know of similar appropriate databases or data sets, send me a brief description, where they are located (URL) and permission from the author to add a link from the BLANCHARD-L Page. The second link is to a page called "Links to other sources, tools, research aids, etc." This page will include sites that may be useful in your genealogical pursuits, whether or not they involve BLANCHARDs directly. I'll do my best to judge which of these are suitable for the B-L Page. Fletch
