I also passed the letter to 4 very active genealogy sites for Poland, Hungary, Penn,& Indiana , also to a couple of friends. WE need to write the letters now.

And I agree and said the same thing in my email. I don't want this exploded to other states. Does anybody know why they are pursuing this? Terri <taire@webtv.net> wrote: I have forwarded the news on to my other lists -- even if they're not NJ related. As I mentioned in my emails and Helen speaks of also -- this definitely pertains to more than just genealogy. Wouldn't want other states to follow suit and really muck up the works. Besides - the bottom line is our right to know!!!!! Rather like the Canadian Census issue ---- even if one doesn't have Canadian roots, it's important to speak up. It's our RIGHT to be able to obtain this info. Understandably -- NJ residents have the right to identity protection - no issue with that! But here's hoping the "suits" will take time to re-write the bill. It seems like the new wording suggested will satisfy all. Keep well all -- Terri ==== NJ-GSNJ Mailing List ==== Save the Date!!!
