A great new state-specific genealogy search tool is being developed by the people who created RootsWeb! New York is ready for you to use now, as are a few other states - more are being added daily, or as time permits. Just enter your surnames, and have fun! http://laboratory.linkpendium.com/ It is still in beta, and will improve, but has already helped me find two bits of data I did not have for my ancestors in southern states! Remember that the search will improve over the next few weeks and months, so check back often! Carol C. Head cch@netdoor.com, cchcap@comcast.net
