You can either copy & paste the address from the email into your browser's address line or find the address by moving through the pages of the Mill Hill history page: http://oldmillhillsociety.org/history.htm go to the 3rd entry (A HISTORY OF TRENTON, 1679-1929): http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/%7Etrenton/ go to chapter IX (Charitable Institutions, Public Welfare and Social Agencies): http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/%7Etrenton/historyoftrenton/charitable .htm Gary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sharon / Harry Colquhoun" <thistledewus@yahoo.com> To: <NJMERCER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, February 04, 2001 5:46 PM Subject: Re: Unidentified subject! > I'm getting a message that no such page exists.
