But remember that we are all volunteers and unpaid. This is our way of giving something back to our hobby, but it is still our hobby. We are not a no-cost resource for professional genealogists. After a recent incident where somebody (not a professional) was asking for half a dozen every few days, and another where the researcher in addition, abused our member for not replying by return, we were considering stopping the service. Look ups are not what the Ryerson Index is about. Many have interpreted the hotlinks from the newspaper in your results as a path to the Notice. After our next page update, they will no longer be links. You are encouraged to take what the Index has to other resources, such as your local library. In Ray's case, there would be no problem. As Marg says, just fill in the form. Doug Laidlaw, Committee Member, Ryerson Index Inc.
