Subject: [GM-L] WOODSTOCK, CT TOWN FARM RECORDS
Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2001 10:44:48 -0500

Hello everyone,

I know that some of you will receive this 2 times but because of where
people were born in these records I did not want to type them up more
than once. I will also put on the ones in New Brunswick and RI, etc. If
someone would be so kind as to forward it to the lists for those places I
would be very appreciative. I am not putting on the people born in CT...
if anyone wants to know of someone in CT please email me privately at -
- and I will look to see if that person is in the
record.
