Dr. Edward C. Papenfuse, Maryland State Archivist, said of the changes: "We regret having to curtail our services to the public but these changes are unavoidable given the reductions in our budget for Fiscal Year 2003 which begins on July 1. We hope our patrons will understand the reasons for this, and we will do our best to continue to provide the high quality of service that our patrons have come to expect of us."

This is the 4th and I tried the Census Images just now. On the 1920 Census I was getting a notice that they were missing or damaged. That is at least the ones I tried for New Castle. Says they are trying to fix it... Correction: It appears that the census pages are completely down. I get the same notice on all of them that I tried.

Janet, After reading your message, I went to Ancestry.com Census Images for Sussex County, DE for 1850 as I do a lot of work in that area. I had no difficulty in pulling up the images and there was no degradation in quality. I wish I could be of more help; your problem must be elsewhere. George Bacon Norfolk, VA
I'm having difficulty accessing the census Images Online on Ancestry.com tonight. The image never comes into complete focus. It remains little white, black and gray boxes. I don't know if the problem is with them or me. Would someone with access to the census images let me know if you have the same problem? Thanks, Janet T.

I misstated the years: SUSSEX CNTY, DE LAND RECORDS 1709-1711, by Judith K Ardine, 2002, DelMarVa Roots, Lewes, DE the "correct" years are 1789-1792. Thus the citation should read: SUSSEX CNTY, DE LAND RECORDS 1789-1792, by Judith K Ardine, 2002, DelMarVa Roots, Lewes, DE My apologies, must have been the heat and humidity here!

I am new at lineage, but have been trying to search my father's side of the family. The furthest I have traced is to my grandfather - Rufus Gordy. He was listed in census in the late 1800's. I wa told the "original" Gordy's came from Scotland and I believe a shipwreck was part of that story as well. In your search, have you come across a Rufus Gordy as a decendent of Moses? Some information is confusing on other messages, Moses is listed as Peter Sr. brother and also lists a son named Moses for Peter Sr. Ant info would be appreciated. Regards, Mike Gordy Plymouth, Wi.

[My early genealog. searches, I'm sorry to say, were not well documented. If current Hastings searchers could fill me in on this, I'd appreciate it.]
