REMINDER - Please remain aware of the restrictions
on posting our work on commercial sites that has been in effect
since the site began in 1996. We are finding many violations of this, whole
pages copied and pasted with no source citation or permission.These violations
are usually from people who have never bothered to thank us or donate to
the site's expenses. We publish it here free and available 24/7
anywhere in the world. There is no advantage to posting it on sites where
people have to pay to see our free gift. It separates us from the people
we help and diminshes the returns we get in exchange for our own projects.
I have already had to curtail publishing many pictures I intended to. They
show up without my name on them all over the place. They are not public
property. We want to continue to develop this site in a trusting and honest
environment without being slave labor to commercial sites. If that is not
possible, we will have to find other ways to share our work. Be moral.

Joyce,
I thought you'd like to know that we at the Steele Memorial Library
have been busy scanning and indexing Chemung County Atlases from 1869 and
1904 plus Elmira City Atlases from 1876 and 1896.
As I type these lines on August 17th we have the 1869 Chemung County
Atlas and the 1896 City of Elmira Atlas available online from:
http://www.toolsofhistory.org/Collections/Atlases-from-Chemung-County
We hope by the end of the year to have the 1876 City Atlas and 1904
County Atlas available for viewing as well.
Regards,
Owen Frank, Head of Adult & Reference Services

buildings and demoliton to the proposed new theater. |

Mansfield's old Junior High School

from its early history. |

The following graph represents the percentage of usage of each of the
site's directories, or sections. As I would expect, the obituaries
and cemetery sections are the most used. I would have expected the birth,
death and marriage partitions to also be well used, but they seem to be
neglected somewhat, and the schools pages are not represented as significant.
Don't overlook the undiscovered treasure on the site as you use
the partitioned PICO search engine. |

I need a helper person - volunteer typist - to transcribe Elmira
Free Academy alumni listings 1859-1909 to Excel spreadsheet. This is
a wide - two page - presentation so will result in a many columned spreadsheet.
I am adding alumni listings for Tioga, Lawrenceville and Millerton High
schools prior to merger into Williamson. It reminded me that I have had
these EFA pages on my hard drive too long waiting for a typist. Let me
know. Thanks. |

Dear Joyce,
A group of people are meeting at the Unitarian Universalist Church
in Sheshequin PA across from Ulster (of course you know where it is) to
tell the story of Queen Esther and her people and her lineage.
That will be this coming Monday October 11 from 2-4.
I don't know if you are able to come but if you can it would be good.
If you know any people who are from Queens Esther and Catherine's lineage
who would like to listen or who are in a position to speak, please invite
them.
All the best,
Destiny Kinal |
