Bill, most of my work on Vreeland, King, and others in the Finger Lakes area
is what one might temporarily call "complete," and I probably would not have
any specific objectives to address, but a get-together with those of common
interests could be of value all around. Keep working on it!

Subject: [NYFINGERLAKES] Cayuga and Regional History Research Week


> There is preliminary discussion going on of having a week in the summer
> dedicated to historical and family research. Many people travel to do
> research on their origins. I would like to get feedback on the
> following. Problem is finding a time when all the village, town and
> county offices are open.

> 1- Would it be a help to know that if you travel long distance to Cayuga
> County to know that for a particular week or weekend that the small
> historical societies and museums would be open for that week?
>
> 2- Would it be a help to have the County Clerk and County Historians'
> offices open on the weekend of that week? And the same for Town Clerk
> and Town Historians offices. Or can you get your work done during the
> week?
>
> 3- When and if you traveled to this area would you stay in a hotel or RV
> park?
>
> 4- What week or weekend is best? Forth of July? The week of the Wheat
> Harvest Festival?
>
> 5- Would it be good to organize this week around an event, or events,
> that the other members of your family would be interested in? I just
> spoke to a friend who loves doing historical research but her husband
> would rather be at a Jazz Festival?
>
> 6- Should this be a county thing of just Cayuga County or a regional
> event of Cayuga, Seneca, Onondaga, Wayne and Tompkis counties? OR
> should it be a state-wide event?
>
> Any other thoughts and suggestions would be welcome.
