Subject: [Maricopa] NEW IGI Search Facility now includes the USA
Date: Sun, 3 Mar 2002 12:30:59 -0800
Dear list,
I am so pleased to be able to announce this news. An incredible
thing has happened for those searching for kindred connections in the
USA. Our terrifically wonderful Hugh Wallis has done it again!!! Yes, you
can now search the IGI by town, county and state with only a surname...
What was done for the UK has graciously been extended to US records by
harnessing the information so lovingly put together by the LDS.
Use this new search feature here:

Hugh, we salute you! Your philanthropic work is a gift we
appreciate.
Best wishes to all,
Dawn Perry-Taft
