    3. MY understanding is, that the reports that are sent to the home office, were sent to Pa. (This subject is one of my 'soapboxes', and from time to time I,contact the Library, I have even contacted the minister at New Hernhutt, hoping to spark an interest in making available the documents.) I believe that the documents are in paper form, but that they are well cared for, if I recall, from my last conversation, it might be possible to extract information. When I had this conversation, responses were vague, as he did not know who I was, maybe he, personally, was not interested in genealogy, (you know how 'those' people are), and I was not in Pa to follow up with a visit. I have written letters, and made phone calls, I have even contacted the Director of Acquisitions for FHL, re opening dialogue to film the documents. I have and continue to tell Genealogy.com, every time they call me to sell me World Family Tree, "not until you put the Caribbean information on disk". Not to much results, but I still hope. I have a problem, with the denial/dismissal of the Caribbean in America, African American, and World History. But back to the Moravians, maybe we can come up with ideas. Do we know anyone in the area that can extract, or better copy. The NC Library, will not allow copy, but they will do a search, and give a typewritten documents. I rather, see a copy of the actual document, as we all know, mistakes can be made in transcribing.
