For the look-up volunteers? The address I find on the web page, cfb1961@aol.com, is bouncing. I'd like to post the following information: I have a copy of Thomas Bridgman's book Inscriptions on the Grave Stones in the Grave Yards of Northampton and of Other Towns in the Valley of the Connecticut, as Springfield, Amherst, Hadley, Hatfield, Deerfield, &c. with Brief Annals of Northampton, Hopkins, Bridgman & Co., Northampton, Mass., 1850; reprinted by Heritage books, Inc., Bowie, Maryland, 1996. I'd be happy to do lookups.

Dear Sue, Thank you for sending these URLs! I had tried the Hampshire Co. page at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/8610/, and found that the address given for lookup volunteers and for queries, cfb1961@aol.com, bounced. It's nice to know the Bridgman book is online and that so many other sources are available. Dave Clark also sent the URL for his site, which I have only begun to explore, but which looks great. (Hope you don't mind my passing it along, Dave.) It's at http://sites.netscape.net/davec551/homepage Thanks again, Sue, and thanks to the several of you who have written suggesting sources and configurations for my Joseph Leeds family. I've got a "working theory" to go on now, of how the family fits together, and just need to get to the FLC to check the primary sources. I really appreciate all the wonderful help you've given. Genealogists are the nicest people. Nice that so many of us are related! :-) Kendall PS. I know it's a different county, but many of the Northampton settlers came from Dorchester. I've got a copy of the Dorchester Town Records, the Dorchester VRs, and also an alphabetical and chronological listing for extant graves (as of 1996) in the Dorchester North Burying Ground, if anyone would like a lookup.
