-----Original Message----- From: H-Net Network on New Jersey history [mailto:H-NEW-JERSEY@H-NET.MSU.EDU]On Behalf Of h-nj@MAIL.H-NET.MSU.EDU Sent: Monday, December 22, 2008 9:06 PM To: H-NEW-JERSEY@H-NET.MSU.EDU Subject: Penn. Genealogical Cause From: "A.Batko" Date: Mon, December 22, 2008 I just received this from a Tri-State area History colleague. For those seeking access to genealogical information... consider supporting their cause, and cannot NJ follow suit? Alicia Batko = = = Here is the link to the website about our grassroots effort to have Pennsylvania make its older state death certificates much more accessible and available online similar to how they have started to do in other states: http://users.rcn.com/timarg/PaHR-Access.htm . We hope you will join in on this effort and if you would pass this information onto anyone you know who is into Pennsylvania genealogy and history including out of state residents. This effort will only succeed with your help. Otherwise we could be stuck with the same old existing archaic system for a very long time to come. There are millions and millions of people who are into genealogy but unless we speak up we are allowing those who don't care about genealogy decide what records we may or may not have access to. If for some reason you have difficulty opening our website through the above link go to Google or a similar search engine and type in "pahr-access". It should be the first hit. Our apologizes if you have already received this email. We would appreciate it if you would let us know where you are from when you email us. Thank you for your help.
