Hello everyone, I heard that nara has published a new catalog so went to their website. While there, I wandered around a bit - and found that they have the following collection: << The Internal Revenue assessment lists, 1862-1874, for the following states and territories are currently available as microfilm publications: >> They then list various states - and the number of microfilms available for each. I know that nara microfilms are available for viewing at a Regional Office (have one here about an hour away) - or can be rented (after checking if your particular films are part of the sets they rent out) - or can be purchased. Now - has anyone used these particular records for NY? Even better, for Niagara County? They sound useful - and for those elusive 1800s record sources - this might be yet another direction to look at. So - has anyone actually looked at these assessment lists that can share how useful they might be? Thanks, debbie CAhobbies@aol.com
