AGAIN if the 1930 new york census says they were born in virginia, DON'T GO COLLECTING ALL "MILLER" OR JONES INFO FROM VA. Get an earlier census and locate them there FIRST. then when you know the "local" area proceed. You will only waste alot of time and money, trying to collect on all millers etc. _ALWAYS PHOTO COPY THE DOCUMENTS, PAGES IN A BOOK, WHERE YOU FOUND YOUR INFO._ (http://www.nyvagenealogy.homestead.com/research.html) _usually the "title page" and the page your ancestor is on._ (http://www.nyvagenealogy.homestead.com/research.html) good luck, Kristina _www.nyvagenealogy.homestead.com_ (http://www.nyvagenealogy.homestead.com) ============================== Jumpstart your genealogy with OneWorldTree.

Depending on the state you are looking for there are several things you can try. First, the http:// was left off of all of the URL's. Some web browsers will automatically add it. Some will not. You should always put complete URL's including the http:// when you give links. This may or may not be a PART or the problem in your case. Second, the URL's are written in all CAPS. Many servers either do not recognize CAPS at all, or recognize them as being different from the same letter in lower case. In properly giving links CAPS are never used in a URL. The server in question in this case recognizes them as being a different letter from the smaller case version and gives you a 404 " The requested URL /NJ.html was not found on this server" error. Simply change them to lower case and the page you are looking for will come up. In other words, if you were looking for New Jersey, "WWW.VITALREC.COM/NJ.HTML" will not work unless your browse both adds the http:// AND converts all URL's to lower case, while "http://www.vitalrec.com/nj.html" will work with any browser. For the sake of others whose browsers work differentlyand who may be less experienced on computers, we should always post URL's properly with the http:// and with all lower case letters.
