The list of family names you found is actually the WNYGS Surname List. These are names submitted by members so that other Society members can contact them to exchange information. The Surname List is printed on the Society webpage for the convenience of our members and to encourage WNY researchers to join the Society. The board has voted that the member information (name, address) can not be shared with non-members. I can tell you that only one of the four members searching BAGLEY that you listed is still active in the Society at this time. The Society, which was founded in 1974, publishes a quarterly Journal. The Surrogate Index is an on-going Society project and indexes for seven of the eight counties covered by the Western NY Gen. Soc. have been printed in earlier issues of the Journal. Surrogate Indexes for Erie County from 1800 through 1880 have also been published in earlier issues of the Journal. We are currently in the process of printing the Erie County Surrogate Index from 1881 through 1900, with the records from Dies to Dz scheduled to be printed in the upcoming June 2010 issue. A Journal CD (Vol. 1-27) is available for purchase from the Society. We also now have an additional Journal CD (Vol 28-32) available for purchase. Both of these contain full copies (PDF) of the Journals and are searchable. Details can be found on the Society website at http://www.wnygs.org/journal.html. An index of articles previously published in the Journal can be viewed by clicking on the Journal Index link on the right-hand side of the same page. Copies of the Journal are also available in the Grosvenor Room collection of the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library.
