FootNote
The new kid on the block, FootNote is known for digitizing historical
documents... many of which are genealogical gems. With naturalizations,
city directories, war records, newspapers, town records, etc... this new
kid is quickly being recognized as an alternative to Ancestry.
While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
This website provides an index to the Vermont Chronicle
for the years 1826-1874. This covers the paper during the years it was
located in the towns of Bellows Falls and Windsor. There is very little
information available within the index, but certain items can be assessed
as to whether desired information is present. For instance, a search for
Partridge in the "VERMONT
CHRONICLE 1866 Mo-Sa INDEX" produced for me the following
results:
Partridge
Cyrus
Newark, Ill
husband
C0550
Partridge
F. W.
Newark, Ill
son
C1313
Partridge
Franklin
Newark, Ill
son
C1314
Partridge
H. M.
Newark, Ill
son
C1315
Partridge
Mary
Newark, Ill
death
C0188
Up front you would think that there is very little to find
here. But on second look you can tell that Mary Partridge died prob. 1866
in Newark, Ill., leaving husband, Cyrus, and children, F.W., Franklin, and
H.M. all of Newark, Ill.
The last column denotes a reference number for the author
of the webpage. By providing the author that item number and a steep $5
per item, you can obtain a digitized image of the article. To have that
article emailed to you in digitized fashion costs you $6. I believe this
is expensive for a digitized item, but the choice is yours to make.
