Thank you, Cynthia. I have received several wonderful emails
regarding my question on this list. I appreciate all of them.

I live in Massachusetts, and all of my research is in New England
and New York. The real estate records I was inquiring about are
located right here in my county (Worcester)

Thank you again.

Margie
