1.  Lost & Found – in a bible for sale at White Horse Books located at:
     Redwood, NY 13679 United States Phone: 315-482-6250 Email: whbooks@hughes.net
              William K. McDOWELL b. 2 April 1805; d. 29 January 1842

2. Website WeView – websites that help with Jefferson County research:  LinkPendium.com
     Our newsletters have a standard feature: Famous Jeffersonians.  While searching for people of note who were either born or lived in Oswego County to fill this feature, I came across this fantastic website.  It was created by the founders of Rootsweb, Karen Isaacson and Brian Leverich.  It is a very user-friendly FREE website organized by locality and by surname. 
     At their home page, if you click on ‘locality,’ you can select your U.S. County of research.  The screen that follows gives you links to a variety of records and other miscellany such as bible records, cemeteries, census, court and legal records, immigration, libraries, maps, military records, obits, school records and vital records.  (In a sense, it is a simpler version of Rootsweb.)
     What’s great is that within your locality is a section for biographies organized by surname.  Family history researchers contribute some links; others are from county history books published along the northern migration trail:  Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. 
     It’s worth checking out!

5.      FYI –  
In our Jefferson County Bulletin for April 2005, we compiled a survey asking for your input on what the value of a subscription-based website might be worth re: a part of NewYorkAncestry’s services.  A big Thank You to those who responded! 
     After much review, we have decided to forego the subscription-based idea and replace it with another one we think will be much better for the researcher.  Our plans are that the first part of next year we will offer the researcher a report they can purchase for a nominal sum.  This report will list an index to all of the pages upon which the researcher’s ancestor’s name appears.  The bibliography of books / newsletters consulted will be any that we have compiled, published or reprinted and many that we have not.  (For instance, we have an index to Oneida’s Annals and Recollections as well as the History of Herkimer County, yet we don’t sell reprints to those books.)  We’re excited about this new service.  If you are, too, we’d like to hear from you.
