I have made the following changes to the vitals files, and have sent
updated files to Cliff to be placed on the listserv.

ARKANSAS

It provides information on Lee, Monroe, and Phillips Counties in Eastern
 Arkansas.  They also have some Tennessee & Mississippi information, and are
 very helpful.  If your ancestors passed that way, it's a great resource.

NEW YORK


Hi Fellow Rooters,

In our weekly pennysaver publication there was an advertisement that I
though might be of interest to some of you.  It reads as follows:

FAMILY HISTORY BUFFS:
Call for report of your family, as recorded in the 1790 US Census for
New York State.  716-367-3221.

I have contacted him and am impressed with his service.  He can tell you
on the phone if he has any census information on your surnames and also
discuss the modest fee for sending you such information.  My husband knows
him personally and says he can be trusted.  I asked him if he minded my
posting his info on the roots-l and he agreed.  He said the only thing better
would be if he could correspond on roots-l with his home computer and modem
from home.

His name and address are:

Harry Rapelje
P.O. Box 27
Hemlock, New York  14466

He is very easy to talk to and has other books dealing with early New York
State as his ancestors were in the original settlers of New York from
Holland.

Hope some of you find this of interest.

PENNSYLVANIA

You should delete the following from the GENEALOG VITAL-PA:

         City Archives of Philadelphia
         Room 523
         City Hall Annex
         Philadelphia, PA 19107

The city archives are no longer at this location, so this entry in the file
could be misleading.  You already added the new address that I sent you, but
I wouldn't want anyone to waste time by sending to the old address - the city
just sends any correspondence back to you unopened - they're too cheap to
forward it to the new location.
