Ward's posting about the Melville Book Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear John: Of course you are right! I didn't read Robert's letter quite carefully enough and somehow got the idea that the book was being reprinted in a deluxe edition comparable to the original. I just reread Robert's letter and it says nothing of the kind -- in fact it mentions that it is a First Edition, one of 600 copies. Sloppy reading on my part. Still, for one who wants only the information to be found exclusive of the artwork, etc., there is the "reprint from microfilm" option at probably one-eighth the cost. Sorry for the confusion.

Ward's posting about the Melville Book Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear Louise: You wrote and asked, "What do you mean by "our website". What is the URL? I would be interested." The WRG (Whitney Research Group), of which you are a member if you are subscribed to the Whitney-L maillist, has a collective website at the following URL http://www.whitneygen.org/ On it you will find archives of all the maillist material since we put this group together some five years ago, extracted Whitney entries from the VR's of nearly 300 MA towns, as well as some for ME, NH, VT; Whitney extracts from the Barbour Index to CT records, Whitney census extracts for the whole country for a number of years, databases of the descendants of John and Elinor Whitney of Watertown (1635), Henry Whitney of Long Island and CT (ca 1640), and a group of Southern Whitneys who came to VA from Bermuda ca 1730-40; a complete transcription of the 600 page book on the family of John and Elinor, written by Frederick Clifton Pierce (pub. 1895); plus lots of other useful Whitney material. The website is very easy to use, it has an excellent interface that explains what each part contains, and it has an extremely useful search engine devised by one of our members. I urge you to spend some happy hours discovering what the WRG has already gathered and made available. It is very possible that the answers to some of your current questions may be found there. Good luck and Happy Hunting. Allan E.

I have had to reword and rework the guidelines for the CENSUS-LOOKUP mailing lists and also include subscription instructions. I am sending these below. The lists have been growing like crazy since I created them three days ago and I expect the growth to continue as the word spreads. Please feel free to forward this to anyone you feel may be interested in joining. Of course the more people we have the more help we will be for each other. Please keep in mind that we are only a few days old and if your lookup request is not answered, try again in a week or two. Some of the state lists have already reached over 150 subscribers <G> Others have not been "advertised" as much and have fewer members. Hang in there and don't get discouraged if your not answered right away, these lists will be a great asset to our research after we reach the people and let them know that these lists are available. I am encouraging everyone to send this email to their surname and county mailing lists as well as to our cousins. Finally, If you have the material to help a fellow researcher, please use it. Thanks, Kelly Kellygirl3398@mpinet.net (Subscription information at the end of this e-mail) Guidelines for posting to the lists: Established 11 October 2000 EMAIL SUBJECT LINES: COUNTY,YEAR,SURNAME NO FLAMING or you will be unsubbed without notice. By this I mean not only being rude or mean to each other but there will be NO and I do mean NO debating here about the Census Projects. This list is for everyone who wants to research. NO General requests such as "all Smiths in all counties" Be specific, Name the County, Family you are looking for and also the year. Try to supply as much info as possible. LIMIT your requests to ONE PER CENSUS YEAR and SURNAME My Mama taught me that Thank you and Please are always nice too :) A few people have emailed me asking how to sign up for the new lists and what to do. - --------------------------------------------------------------- 1. All lists are XX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L-request@rootsweb.com XX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-D-request@rootsweb.com The XX is to be removed and the two letter abbreviation for the state you are looking in added in its place. Examples: MI-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L-request@rootsweb.com CA-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L-request@rootsweb.com IL-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L-request@rootsweb.com 2. So, send an email to the one of your choice (make sure to have the state). Put NOTHING in the subject line. In the body of the email write only: subscribe Then send it on :) 3. POSTING to the new census lists: A. Send it to XX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L@rootsweb.com (supply the two letter state code for the XX again) B: Subject line MUST have the following: County/Year/Surname Example: Saginaw/1850/Smith C: In the body of the email: List whom you are looking for. Supply as much information as you can. Birthplace, ages, occupation, etc. D: Mail it on! That's it folks :) I hope that helped. I have put the list of states and two letter codes below for you. AL Alabama AK Alaska AZ Arizona AR Arkansas CA California CO Colorado CT Connecticut DC District Of Columbia DE Delaware FL Florida GA Georgia HI Hawaii ID Idaho IL Illinois IN Indiana IA Iowa KS Kansas KY Kentucky LA Louisiana ME Maine MD Maryland MA Massachusetts MI Michigan MN Minnesota MS Mississippi MO Missouri MT Montana NE Nebraska NV Nevada NH New Hampshire NJ New Jersey NM New Mexico NY New York NC North Carolina ND North Dakota OH Ohio OK Oklahoma OR Oregon PA Pennsylvania RI Rhode Island SC South Carolina SD South Dakota TN Tennessee TX Texas UT Utah VT Vermont VA Virginia WA Washington (state) WV West Virginia WI Wisconsin WY Wyoming --part1_75.b00b539.271e598a_boundary--
