Subject: [OHCRAWFO] Concerning IOWA Vital Records Closing

Hello Fellow Listers:

You will find below a mailing that I received recently concerning my
posting of the "IOWA Records Closing". Since I received this, I feel I
should probably explain why I am concerned about this possibility and
have copied the correspondence that I sent back to a fellow lister. My
apologies to the lists for posting the original mailing if you feel this
is not related to genealogy whether it be for Pennsylvania Lists or not.

Sincerely,
Donna HELLER ZINN of Newville, Cumberland Co., PA.

Hi Arlene:

The reason why I placed that posting on the PA County Lists was that
several of my ancestors and relatives went West and several settled in
IOWA. If you read up on some of the histories of some of the Nation's
Western towns and villages you will find that many were settled and
established by Pennsylvanians. These Pennsylvanians were encouraged to
leave their hometowns and relatives here and "go west" to establish
"colonies" there.

Also if there is a possibility of the Vital Records closing in that or
any other state... then sooner or later it may "come to" your state or
mine, Pennsylvania.

Best Wishes on your family quest...
Donna HELLER ZINN of Newville, Cumberland Co., PA.
