Veering off topic again, I see. Sorry, gotta jump in. Not that you were considering doing this but I have to post a warning in case anyone else was. Buying Buffalo houses at online auctions and promptly reselling them at higher prices without making any improvements is a fraudulent practice called flipping. It has destructive consequences for the surrounding neighborhoods. There is a made-in-Buffalo documentary about it: http://flippedmovie.com/news.php There is also a task force charged with halting it. See: http://www.buffaloflipping.com/ Apologies for being lecturesome. We now return to our regularly scheduled genealogical programming. --- zona himmelsbach <[email protected]> wrote: > What is the name of your relative in Erie County who bought an > auctioned > house? > > Look what I found on a google search > http://www.bid4assets.com/auction/index.cfm?auctionID=373537 > > zh > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' > without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > *:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:**:-.,_,.-* Cynthia Van Ness, MLS, bettybarcode AT yahoo DOT com http://www.BuffaloResearch.com "Everyone claims to want a city, but no one here wants city living.

If I had the circumstances to return to the Township of Tonawanda, I would buy such a house to live in and make the necessary repairs and improvements that would make it comfortable. Then I would search the attic to see if walls do talk to find out who lived there and search their family history. Is it not legal to purchase an auctioned house in Erie County?
