Loo ----- Original Message ----- From: Tim Stowell Sent: Friday, June 24, 2005 10:53 PM To: NYMADISO-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [NYMADISO] update 6/25/2005 Since my last update, these goodies have been added: Chenango County - At long last the 1951 directory of County and Town Officers contributed long ago by Jack Eaton. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nychenan/1951dir.htm -------------------------- 1880 History - Chapter 4 - Native American history in the region, the various alliances with the foreign powers, the betrayals, the wars to the time of the 1800s - http://www.rootsweb.com/~nychenan/1880-4.htm -------------------------- 1880 History of Norwich - http://www.rootsweb.com/~nychenan/1880-23.htm About 50 pages of material with extensive footnotes - 150 in all, which written in prescription bottle font was difficult for the transcriber and myself to read. Chock full of genealogy of many families. =============================== Cortland County - Nothing to report as I've been working almost exclusively on the giant Norwich chapter above. =============================== Madison County - 1872 History of Madison County - Appendix Notes, errata for the entire book. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nymadiso/1872end.htm ------------------------------ As of this week I am now maintaining Dan Weiskotten's site on Rootsweb: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyccazen/ The only planned change at the moment is to replace his email address with a different place for folks to contact for comments / questions regarding the site. ================================= Lastly, regarding contributions / transcriptions - I'm about through the first batch of transcriptions folks started about 3 months ago. It's time to send out another batch to those who've returned their transcriptions. I'm having to reformat a work I did on a DeRuyter book as it is not viewing as it should in some browsers. A contributed posted to one of the county lists that they had contributed some material a long time ago that never made it to the web page. My apologies for that. When I went to look, see what had happened I discovered I had started formatting the work, then apparently got side-tracked, time passed and I forgot about it. I try to keep all contributions classed by county in seperate folders so I can see where things stand. Some contributions take more TLC than others to format for the web sites. Picture if you will a person standing at the mouth of a river and when it rains all the collected water comes to one point. In a way that where I stand as do others who coordinate web sites. At present I have to review this number of emails to see if there are items that need adding - Chenango - 469 Cortland - 59 Madison - 219 plus another 90 general ones and another 550, a goodly portion dealing with railroads in central New York. As I have varied interests I am always exploring new avenues of material which adds to the stacks - and folks keep sending material. So my plan is to attack these stacks one by one to get the backlog out and down. Comments welcome.
