To the list, If anyone is interested I have finished my database of all the Brooks listings in the Albany, New York directories. It currently goes from 1813 to 1860. I only have to do 1861 then I am done - for my own purposes anyway. It is much easier to read than the previous upload, with everything lining up properly. I hope someone will find it useful. Good researching, jen bumann That which you survive, only puts off the inevitable.
