Ladies & Gentleman: I just realized I forgot to mention that you can post a message direct to the List, instead of to my personal addy, so that all can share in the info. Sorry bout that! BILL -------------------------------------------------------------- To those of you whose research may entail the finding of vital records; land records; naturalization records; probate records; etc, the question often is: Where do I go to find them? I now have the ability to provide, in most cases, the info which will enable you to contact the appropriate office or jurisdiction where these records are held in all 50 States plus American poss- essions. In many states the records are held in the County Court- houses whereas, in CT, the records are held in, usually, the Town or Cities' Clerk's offices. I can also provide similar info on many of the Historical Societies which exist on the State, County & local levels. If you may be uncertain as to what County a particular town or city is located in I can also provide that info. Being an amatuer genealogist myself, I know the amount of fruit- less time that can be spent on attempting to find the correct source to contact for needed info. Thus, I am offering to share, to the best of my ability & materials, any info which may be of help to one & all; as isn't the Genealogist's creed: "People helping other people?" You may contact me at any time as follows: < wm.r.waterhouse@mailstation.com > NOTE: TEXT ONLY-NO ATT- ACHMENTS. Thank you! Happy Hunting!
