Re: [LegacyUG] A little off topic but...
I have been around a long time so microfilm is the word that pops out of my mouth :) I would want the papers to be treated in the best manner possible. I just want an agreement from the people that I turn the papers over to that they will make the entire collection available to repositories free of charge so that everyone has access to them in whichever way is best :) michele - Original Message - From: Alastair Lack [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Monday, November 13, 2006 1:06 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] A little off topic but...

Re: [LegacyUG] A little off topic but...
Hi Alastair, I personally was very impressed by this, thank you for sharing this info. I have some very important books that are very old that need to be scanned. This is the best option I have seen so far. Can you tell me where I might find one of these to purchase and maybe the price ? These are books being held by a historical society that they have granted me permission to copy. Most Sincerely, Candi DeGrande [EMAIL PROTECTED] A small point but important.

[LegacyUG] A little off topic but...
We are buying a genealogist's dream of a house in Maine! It was built in 1830 and is in PERFECT condition. Here is the best part... The current owner is giving me ALL of the treasures he found in the attic when he pulled up the boards to put in insulation. He found TINTYPE photos of the orginal owners! He found the wife's Bible! He found newspapers from the 1830s and 1840s! The original owner of the house was the founder of the Piscataquis Observer which started printing 168 years ago :) He is giving me these things because he knows I will cherish them. He researched the house and the original family and I am thrilled to know all about it and I am doubly thrilled to have these treasures. michele Legacy User Group guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ For online technical support, please visit http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

So, are you going to try and locate the descendants and give those precious items to them?
