Subject: [NYFL] Lookup Offer
Date: Sat, 5 Oct 2002 13:17:45 -0400 (EDT)


Once again I am offering to do lookups in the "History of Tioga, Chemung, Tompkins, and Schuyler Counties, New York," published in 1879. In the past I had only the original index to go by and had to request that a town be supplied along with an ancestor's name. A few months after my last offer I was contacted by an individual who had seen it and it prompted her to write me. She then supplied me with a more complete and updated index to this book. Thanks to her kindness and generosity I am now in a postion whereby I am able to offer to do lookups by name alone! When submitting a request for a lookup please send an email to me (not to the list) which includes both Surname and Given Name of your ancestor. If you know of a particular area where your ancestor resided in, please include that in your request as well. (i.e. Smith family in Elmira area is not an acceptable request!)Please understand when submitting a request that the majority of information found within this History!
pertains to the Early Settlers. From past lookups I took note that there is very little mentions of ancestors from about 1840-50 onwards. Of those that do appear, the majority of them mainly show they held some type of local office and/or military (Civil War Regiment) information.I will do lookups primarily on a first come first serve basis, or if many requests involve a particular town or area, will try to group them up. It may take me a few days or more to respond, depending on personal circumstances and the numbers of requests received. Sorry to have to put conditions on the lookup offer but free time is a factor here as well as the condition of the book.Sue
