Thanks to everybody! The response was overwhelming, and my little chart of towns shows a volunteer in each box! For you gracious volunteers who didn't get a town, there is another project, much the same thing, only this time a city directory of Watertown for 1855. If you would like a few pages of that to copy, let me know, and I'll get copies to send. This is a treasure you won't find in every library, copied by an alert observer (and volunteer) in the city clerk's office. The city clerk of Watertown is also the city historian. I really didn't expect this response. Thanks again to one and all! Nan Dixon -- http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyjeffer/
