Hi Pat, I can't do much either, I live in Rhode Island. I sent out so that
others would be aware of it and hoping that someone with a little or a lot
of power could do something about it. This guy Thomas O'Brien is not my kind
of Irishman. Maybe be we should get the beads out and say a few prayers.

Bob

Bob, is there someone who we should write to? Phone?
I think if someone sends a form letter, they are ignored but a phone
call or personal email/snail mail means more. But, for those out of
state, who should we contact?

PS It really didn't work in CA. They used to have an index open to the
world but then with all the identity stealing, they made it illegal to
have it online or even in the state library! Instead of doing what NYS
does, and letting old records be available to the public, these
politicians are just over reacting.
