As the list administrator, I don't have any problems with the lookup requests going to the list. HOWEVER, please do not send your entire family history in an e-mail. I'm sure that Rikki only needs the names, approx. dates and locations to lookup the names and very lengthy e-mails giving your entire family history do cause problems for some subscribers. That is best left to be sent to others who are researching the same names and lines and in individual e-mails. Thank you, Rikki, for your generous offer. I'm fortunate enough to have access to those volumes in my library, otherwise this would also be a request to you :) Diane [email protected] List Administrator for NYFingerLakes-L, Lerch-L and NYSeneca-L http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyseneca > I have 4 books that might be of interest to the list and I am willing > to do lookups when I have the time to do so. > > The first 3 books are 10,000 Vital Records, one covers Eastern NY from > 1777-1834, one covers Central NY from 1813 to 1850 and the third > covers Western NY from 1809 to 1850. > > Please be aware, these Vital Records were gleaned from Newspaper > Announcements and organized into these books.
