I am sending this request for the second time. I want to thank all who did answer. I really appreciate your help. But, I have only had 32 responses. Totally 30 organizations with only two duplications. This information is very helpful, not to mention interesting. CSGA has 100 society members and the Council has nearly 30, so I know we have many more out there. I really appreciate you help. Iris I NEED YOUR HELP [Forgive me if you receive more than one of these] I need to collect some numbers, for a fact sheet in our on-going fight to save our birth and death indexes (SB1614). None of this is for publication, I just need the statistics. Identifiers are only for my information to prevent duplicating numbers. I thank you so much for your cooperation.
