I have been looking each week thinking that I had missed it the week prior. It appears that you have dropped the column. As a board member of CNYGS, I must say that would be a real blow to all of the folks who are trying to do family research. We count on the book reviews, local notices of conferences and meetings and of course the queries. In fact, I answer some queries for our organization and very often, I refer folks to your column to submit queries, especially if they are out of our area. I realize that computers have changed the way genealogy is done BUT there are so many researchers who do not have or use computers. We need to serve them too. Genealogy is a very fast growing hobby. Is there any chance that this will be reconsidered? CNYGS meets this week-end and I fully expect this topic to arise. We usually have between 80 and 100 in attendance. Is there anything that we could tell them? Is there someone on the staff that we should directly approach as a group about this? I very much appreciate your attention in this matter.
