I have noticed some of the MASSACHUSETTS mailing lists are used a great deal for posting Census lookup requests and replies. In an effort to help others I thought I would point out there are mailing lists that were specifically created for this purpose (Census lookups). You may indeed get better and/or quicker responses by posting your requests to the appropriate state/county list. http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Census/ If you don't know what county a town is located in, use this tool: http://resources.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/townco.cgi Good Luck!
