Kathy, You and Linda both are a great help to the list, and a great asset! I'm enjoying your newsies too Kathy. Many Genesee people cross over into these other counties to live or visit. I've already found people on your out of Genesee County paper that have to do with people in the town of Alabama or other projects I'm working on. They are making great leads for me as well on a couple of new murder books my friend Ellen and I are working on. Thanks so much! This is starting to remind me of the Brooklyn list I was on for a while when researching the murders of Polly Frisch. Tons of good info came over I couldn't keep up! Nice to see our list getting some meat to it with all these great articles! The out of town people get an opportunity to re-live what our county was like when there ancestors were here, which adds a life story to their genealogy. By-the-by, a piece of the village of Attica still is in Genesee County. I know that for sure from property searches for work. I'll drive to Wyoming County clerks office only to find I have to drive back to Genesee. ;-) -- Cindy Amrhein Town of Alabama Historian Genesee Co., NY ********************** Historian's Page - Alabama, NY http://www2.pcom.net/cinjod/historian/ Experience the town of Alabama in Genesee County, New York.
