Tom- How awful!! I hope you know how many people have benefited greatly from your site. It has been a godsend to me - I'm out in California and it is so hard to research New York from here. I can't tell you how much I appreciate all your hard work that has given me such an amazing amount of information about people whose names I didn't even know a few years ago. If there's anything I can do to help you, please email me directly. Kathi IBSSG New York - Thompson/Crane/Bramm/Fleischer Wisconsin - Meissner/Steng/Diem/Zeininger My system file structure was damages by some people who were using a mass down loader to down load thousands of files from this site, this occurred in the last 2 or 3 days (nov 7-9 ) I lost many directories that will have to be rebuilt.......for the life of me I can not figure out whey they wanted to do this !!!!! I put this site up for every one to use as a FREE resource on Historical Newspapers and other Documents >From New York State and paid for it out of my own pocket not to count my labor , I find this very discouraging !!
