Brenda Caldwell inquired about Ella and Emma Blanchard who were born July 4,1865, possibly in Roxbury, VT or Ogdensburg, NY. A quick check of our web page databases did not find either of them. I suggest a search of our BLANCHARD-L archives for each of the four years we have been in operation. In addition to checking NY and VT Census Records, some queries submitted to the county GenWeb Pages (Washington Co. for Roxbury, VT and St. Lawrence Co. for Ogdensburg, NY) might be worthwhile. The NYGenWeb Page is http://www.rootsweb.com/~nygenweb/ The VTGenWeb Page is http://www.rootsquest.com/~usgwvtus/ Start with the State pages and locate the county (counties) of interest. Both of these counties have Mail Lists hosted by RootsWeb, VTWASHIN-L and NYSTLAWR-L. I don't know how active these two lists are but many of the county lists are a great source of information and are monitored by some very knowledgeable and helpful people. If you are not familiar with mail lists, those at RootsWeb are 'closed' which simply means that you must subscribe in order to post messages. The procedure is simple, send e-mail to the "request address"; for example, to subscribe to the Washington Co., VT Mail List, send an e-mail message to: VTWASHIN-L-request@rootsweb.com with the word subscribe in the message Subject: and body, nothing more. You will receive confirmation of your subscription and information about how the list operates. ________ I thought this was a good opportunity to remind list members of some of the ways to focus their attempts to locate genealogical information.
