Dick, thank you for letting us know. I am thoroughly disgusted. I was not a member of the society but I have New York ancestry, both in NYC 1624 and Western NY before 1800. It's too bad the wrong kind of people got involved with the management of that society. I'm sure they were the ones who caused it to fail. And did it actually fail? It's too bad the Attorney General of the State of New York cannot investigate this.
