Hi everyone, This might be a little off the topic, but it still pertains to genealogy!! I have a private archive that rescues original genealogical and historical materials. At this time, until our nonprofit status is approved, I am personally funding all of the acquisitions and we have received a few donations. I also am an antique dealer and had a fellow dealer offer me 6 original, handwritten birth/marriage/death register ledger books!!! I purchased one from him a couple of months ago and it is exactly the type of ledger you find in the county courthouse or archive with all the original documents!!! If I don't purchase these from him he is going to take them apart and sell them sheet by sheet at auction!! If anyone would like to donate a few dollars to help rescue these ledgers I would really appreciate it! His asking price is $350 for all six. As we understand it, any donations before we receive our nonprofit status will be taxdeductible after our status is received and is retroactive for 15 months. Anyone who makes a donation will be listed on the Archive's website donation page with a special thank you! Thanks so much for all your time!
