When you paste http://www.fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html into your browser, the site is very easy to use. Type in the name or just the surname of your NYC ancestor, and click FIND. When the image appears it has two sides to it. Left: an Index of Findings...CLICK on the title of the article. Right: the title you just clicked will retrieve that article. You can also search for other NYC related topics to see how they were publicized upstate. I tried Tammany Hall and had many "hits."
