Hi Admin., I never get a response to a census lookup (most MA 1900 thru 1930). I use a standard Word docu. format that includes all the rules. One time I tried a second request and still received no response. Please what am I doing wrong ? Thanks much - sincerely , Walt-NJ-USA -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, October 24, 2003 3:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MA-CENSUS-LOOKUP] Admin Message PLEASE READ VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION: PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE AND KEEP IT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
