As an Australian descendant of Isaac TRIPP of Watertown (or more likely Champion) I am absolutely thrilled that the mail list exists and that so many volunteers are willing to make so much information available on the web. I have very little chance of being able to travel to Jefferson County to do my own research. reading the mailing list, even for names I have no connection with is fascinating. Having so much information about the history of Jefferson County and the genealogy available on the web is a goldmine. I am giving myself a crash course in American history to make and sense of all the information I am gathering. Thank you all for being so willing to share your knowledge and time Cheers Marianne Punshon :-))
