    1. [NYWESTCH] FREE search old news at Fulton?
    2. Hello Jack Langton & Friends, Would some kind reader please suggest a better way to utilize Fulton Postcards? You can make a grown woman blush and flutter her fan, Jack Langton. (Oh Prissy, take down those velvet drapes.) LOL If ever I need a campaign or fan club manager , you are definitely the man! Old Fulton NY Postcards = http://fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html was kept in my pocket for three years. Once released to the Roostweb community, it's been like genie seekers gone wild. Old Fulton is the crème de la crème for free newspaper searchings and has more issues of the Brooklyn Eagle than the direct access site to the BE. Using it? I just type in a name or address and click on "exact phrase," which is not efficient enough, as I open every "hit" within my time frame. Who can give us some tips for using Fulton Post Cards? Best O' Luck to all, Barb Metro NYC Researcher NOTES OF IMPORTANCE> In this season of giving, two major FREE and beneficial online sites need a little something in their stockings this year. l) Fulton Postcards (Imagine paying for those free Obits?) This is essentially a one-man show by Tom TRYNISKI. http://fultonhistory.com/Donation%20paypal.html 2) Wikipedia.com, FREE multiple language encyclopedia with researcher submitted articles. Fess up. How many trips to the library did this save you? http://tinyurl.com/cog5odz > > ================ [email protected] writes: Reply: Hi Barb, And a very good batting order it is, too. Regarding Fulton Postcards, it's a great site all right, but somehow I think I'm not getting it's full potential, though I've read all the ground rules. If I might ask, do you find one search method better than another, or one New York newspaper better than the others for certain searches? Hope I'm making some sense here.
