Subject: [MAHAMPDE] MORE Poorhouse Information!
Date: Sun, 12 Aug 2001 21:06:40 -0500


We would like to invite you to re-visit our website, The POORHOUSE STORY (a
clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses) at
http://www.poorhousestory.com

We just posted a whole lot of new material about the poorhouse in HAMPDEN
County. (3 newspaper articles, etc.) Be sure to look all over the state page
for the mention of Hampden County so you don't miss anything. We are very
grateful to Roberta Cyr for sharing all this information with us.

DIRECTIONS:
At the homepage (link above) click on POORHOUSES BY STATE, then on OTHER
STATES, then on MASSACHUSETTS on the table of states. (NOTE: If you have
visited the site recently, you may have to click on REFRESH on your browser
to see the new information.)

There are other pages on the site which may give you some interesting
perspective on poorhouses. They are off the homepage and include: the
HISTORY page and the LETTER TO GENEALOGISTS as well as FEATURED ARTICLES.
There are great tips for researching poorhouse records for yourself on the
RECORDS page; and you might want to subscribe to our (almost) monthly
newletter (which you can do in the lower right corner of the homepage).

The information on our site will only grow through the submissions of
generous readers. If you would like to e-mail me ... please do so off-list
because I cannot maintain subscriptions to as many lists as we post messages
on. (You can use an e-mail link off one of our web pages.)

We hope you enjoy the site!

Thanks,
Linda Crannell
