WRG,
I've spent the weekend entering data from the Index of Surnames in Early
Massachusettes(from printed source) Complited by, Evelyn C. Lane. Published
by Information Services, Inc. Copyright 1989.
This source list which various Vital Records books have listings for
Whitney(and variations)

A lot of people have written to me offering to help,in some way, to collect
data. Also some have requested various towns that are already completed.
What I'd thought I'd do is list for the group; 1.the towns that are completed
2.the towns that are "in the works"
3.the towns that need to be researched,copied,typed, etc.

If anyone would like a copy of a town completed,I would be happy to send as
an attachment, or snail mail if neccessary.

For those of you who have any Vr's that you would like to contribute, send
to either Allan Green or myself

For those who want to help. Thank you, but PLEASE let me know what VR's you
are doing,as soon as you know, so your work won't be duplicated. I will post
to the group an update of what's in the "works". I can imagine it would be
very frustrating to be typing away at some records only to find out it has
been done.
So that said, here goes!

Please, if you take on one of these towns, make sure you copy the key in the
front of the book. Also please note the publisher.

Also to my cousins who have requested a copy of my pictures. I need to
know which ones you'd like, as these take some time to send across and
receive. When I get good at all this computer stuff, I'll try to put these
on a home page for all to enjoy. I hope I'm not being a pain with all of
this. Michael Whitney made a great suggestion of putting this all into a
database. Being a computer "dummy" I'm not sure what exactly this means,
but sounds interesting.

Thanks for the patience and encouragement,
Peg Sanborn
