These sites were set up to help those who may need them. Listed below are different sites for specific needs. I have had many people, from around the world, send their condolences & sympathies. They are in as much shock as everyone in America. They are also just as pissed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Board and List Administrators, Because of the catastrophe that happened in the United States Tuesday, 11 Sept., 2001, MyFamily.com (RootsWeb.com and Ancestry.com) has created a special Message Board for those who wish to express or share condolences, sorrow, prayers, and thoughts for the victims, their families and friends. However, this is not a board for discussion on how the U.S. should resolve this issue or about how the search for those responsible is going. The URL for the board is <http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=usa-tragedy.mourning> Please join us in sharing this message board with your posters.

I tried to order Jefferson County Newspapers on microfilm for the period 1865-1866, thru interlibrary loan, but have been told I need to be more specific i.e. - I need the name of the newspapers to complete the request. Can someone tell me if the newspaper I would need to order would be the Hillsboro Jefferson Democrat. Thanks
