Hi: I have not had a chance to visit this site but am forwarding an article from the Dick Eastman Online Newsletter with a website. A HInds researcher found some Hinds mentioned at this site so if you have any NE Hinds - this is a must. Found at: http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~historyofmarlborough Regards, Nan [email protected] =================================== The following article is from Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter and is copyright 2000 by Richard W. Eastman. It is re-published here with the permission of the author. - History of Marlborough, Massachusetts Online I often look at Web sites dealing with genealogy and/or history. This week I had a chance to look at a good one: History of Marlborough, Massachusetts.
