    1. Re: [BKLYN] Fulton Postcards etc
    2. Hi Madeline, Fultonhistory.com was such a wonderful find, that I couldn't wait to share it. Tom Tryniski is a one man band and updates every Sunday. But, diminishing hits is a frustrating experience. It's founder, Tom (address above) provides a link at top right of Fulton Postcards titled "FAQ Help Index." There, it directs you how to choose specific newspapers, but even the savvy have difficulty understanding the verbiage. If you want to highlight your "hit" phrase, FAQ is the place to install the tool. All those directions written in CAPS...WHOA...so distracting from the facts. Don't you wish Fulton had a tool so you can extract just the article you want? FYI, when included in an online post in the past, Tom's general recommendation was to use the Boolean search option, I assume due to OCR technical issues. Anyway, here's to Tom Tryniski and a fantastic website, that intrigues us all, but could use a bit o' tweaking.
