I've not had good results with the Downing Family Historical Society -- I sent TWO letters [once with an SASE] to Ross Downing in response to his ad in the Genealogical Helper. Neither time did he [or anyone else] respond. I got no help. I got no answer. He kept the data I sent right along with the SASE. See if I'm dumb enough to do that again. No thanks, to the Downing Historical Society. As far as I'm concerned, his ad is a sham -- out to get your information with no return of assistance.
