Dear WRG and Allan I am one of those people who have 3 of the CD's and 1 on the way. I have the town of Hartland 1759-1947, which holds my direct ancestor Edward Whitney 1810-1897 (unconnected at this time). I also have the Town of Oakland 1862-1891 and the Town of Fairfield 1741-1912 (2 cd's) and the Town of Palmyra is on its way from Picton Press. Rosemary Dear WRG: Robert is correct -- I misunderstood completely the scope and cost element. I had assumed (and we all know what that makes me<G>) that the total would be several hundred dollars. To do the Whitney extracts for the whole state will indeed probably take a few people visiting a large-scale source like the State Library or NEHGS. However, I am interested in being able to trace the families of people associated with Whitneys by marriage! So, if anyone buys a CD for a particular town, I would be interested in trying to transcribe the entire set of records to electronic form so that at the very least Search and Find functions would be able to zero in on particular family names. Or, maybe if I got it that far, Tim or someone else who is far more computer knowledgable than I could figure out an electronic index. I'll wait to hear from someone who does buy one of the CD's that I am sure will be for one of the towns with multiple Whitneys and see what might be involved in arrangeing to transcribe the images of the whole record. In the meantime, Happy Hunting! Allan E. Green
