There are many towns in New England with the same situations. Winthrop is a part of Deep RIver, Ct although it has a separate name. I personally think that what Cyndy is doing for all of us is remarkable and most noteworthy. It just is not necessary to pick her work apart. All of these places are places that I once could run to if I needed to see something-- now I no longer live in New England and can not just jump in the car and look for myself. Thank the Lord for people like Cyndi who are willing to go out and do this for those of us that are now too far away to go ourselves or who only get home to New England every few years. It makes planning a trip back home for genealogical purposes easier as I may not have to go every single place myself. Cyndi, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
