If YOU would like to add some of YOUR names to the Hit List, here's how to do it... post a message to HTC-BOSTON-L, giving those surnames and the earliest date those names MIGHT appear in Boston records. (It's OK to give a "best guess"!). To post to HTC-BOSTON-L, you MUST be a subscriber; find out about subscribing on the List Page. Once your names are posted, I can add them to the Hit List. If you are unable to subscribe to mailing lists (some employers are "picky" about this!), send me a "private" message; my address is at the bottom of this page.

Here's how the list works - A researcher takes a copy of the Hit List to the Family History Center or vital records repository. While working on his/her OWN sunames, he/she discovers information about one of YOUR surnames and sends YOU a "Guess who I found???" email message. Also, several list subscribers are working on data gathering projects using ALL of the surnames in the Hit List. These projects will be coded and uploaded to the RESOURCE CENTER

A few people have asked that I not include their email addresses in the Hit List. If you would like to contact one of these people, email ME and I'll forward your message to him/her. The Surname Entries for those folks have INITIALS followed by the word PRIVATE in the EMAIL column.

I've also been corresponding with Tim Heffernan who found our site and told me that it brought back many wonderful memories about his own boyhood at Holy Trinity Church. If "your guys" belonged to HTC in more recent days, perhaps you'd enjoy writing to Tim. His email addy is TL10766@AOL.COM

One more VERY interesting Guest Book entry came from Rudlieb GRAETER - his 2G-grandfather came to Boston around 1825, married Elizabeth GOODWIN (a lady with Mayflower ancestry!), had children and then returned to Germany. Mr. GRAETER is now searching for his US ancestors! His email addy is in the list below.
