Just received this from another list and thought others might find this of interest - especially after the discussion of Idaho & MN records - Tess - Tucson Subj: FW: [FHSA] New at Mesa FHC Date: 00-09-25 23:06:07 EDT From: jcrogers@home.com (Jeannie Rogers) Reply-to: jcrogers@home.com To: AZ-AGCIG-L@rootsweb.com Jeannie Rogers www.AlphaCats.com www.jcrogers.com -----Original Message----- From: Janna Bennington Larson [mailto:janna@DCFinc.com] Sent: Friday, September 22, 2000 10:33 AM To: FHSA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [FHSA] New at Mesa FHC The Mesa FHC has a new web site <www.mesafhc.org> Parts are under construction, but you will want to check it out. Among other things, It has a catalog of all the books, films and fiches which are held exclusively at the library. To be added soon will be Arizona Newspaper Obituaries and later will be the AZ Vital Records Index. Note that if you put a surname in the film inventory database, it looks for the name of the person who ordered the film, not the surnames that are featured on the film. There are still some bugs to work out. I searched for the surname Clough and got a bunch of references to McCloughlin. In September, the Mesa FHC averaged 197 patrons per day. The multi-volume set of Polish surname locator books which were purchased by the Polish Genealogical Society in memory of FHSA member Kathy Dembinski have arrived. There is a new volume of the Passenger and Immigration Lists, the 2001 supplement at the reference table. ============================== Check out RootsWeb's new threaded archives! http://archiver.rootsweb.com/
