Submitting Records:

I am looking for any historical records from the categories mentioned above, or any other reference material (e.g., pictures, maps, genealogies from family bibles, military records, etc.) that would be of interest to others working on their family history. This information can be sent to me by (1) regular mail (retain your originals and just send a photocopy of the record in its original size), (2) by fax, (3) by e-mail (e.g., if an obituary, input the text into the main body of the message), and (4) input the whole text into an html file and send as an e-mail attachment.
