The solution may be in finding out who gave the copies to the Library of Congress... ----Original Message Follows---- From: "George F.

Banks's notes on certain families are at the York Historical Society by the Old Gaol Museum in York, and other papers are at the Bangor Public Library. (I have not used the ones in Bangor, but have used the others.) Moreover, I was told some years ago by a man who was definitely in a position to know that the unpublished manuscript of Volume 3 of the History of York was in private hands in York or someplace very close to York and the person who had it was not about to turn it over or allow his name to be repeated. I hope that whoever it is has made arrangements for it to either be published or be eventually turned over to an appropriate facility. My informant would not tell me who the person is because he did not want to go back on his word to the person who has the manuscript. Unfortunately, my informant died some years ago. We need to get our genealogical bloodhounds on the trail of this before it is too late. George Sanborn Dana Edgecomb wrote: > The papers that were left in Col.
