A friend gave me a book that I am really enjoying. It is "Fetched-Up Yankee" by Lewis Hill. Written about northern Vermont in the early 1930's, it has brought back memories of some of my grandparents old sayings. I am sure anyone in their 70s and who lived in Vermont would enjoy this book. Neysa

Hi list, for those with English ancestry the Yesterdays site , link below, has been updated with hundreds more records containing names of persons from throughout Britain who are found in official records in Derbyshire, a middle England County. It also contains school admissions with the pupils DOB added in most cases, plus the school or area they came from. Some of these pupils are listed as emigrating to America. There are other American references as well. mike -- http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~spire/Yesterday/index.htm

Are there any online vital records for Vermont. I am seeking verification for the birth and parents of Russell Barnes who I have born about 1776 in Guilford, Vermont. If no records exist online is there an archive department that will look up in the old records and verify or produce a genealogical birth certificate? Thanks for your help and I apologize if this question has been asked and answered in the past, I just subscribed to this list. I am doing research for my cousin who had very little information beyond his grandfather and I have been able to get back this far but need verification. Jan
