I do occasionally open those messages - just in case they are of interest for my lines or I can supply some information. However, it doesn't help the one who is making the query to get a response when the reader has no idea what they are really looking for. I may have been guilty myself when I first started my research so have sympathy for those who are "new to the game". Hope your notes will help those researchers make better queries and get good responses. Always happy to share - Sherwood line Connecticut 1600s to 1800s to Tompkins County 1830 or so - and have a great cousin way out in Alaska! Would never have met him without the message boards. goodwin2 Born in Tompkins County Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

There is a large file of old photos available on line by accessing the Library of Congress records. I inserted "Ithaca" into the search engine and 90 old photos were retrieved. Here is the link to start your search: www.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=1028 Hope this may be of some benefit or interest to those who frequent this message board!
