[Genealib] addresses on information requests

[Paula Manzella]

Hi,

  We do have a family file collection in our New Jersey Room that 
contains letters collected by a local genealogist that support his 
research for his family history books.  There are two sets of these 
letters, all copies of the original collection, in our county.  We have 
add  general information, copies, etc., to these files, but not our 
research letters.

 All of our research letters in a separate file in the reference office, 
because of privacy concerns.   We have them back to 1999.  Each reply 
letter that we send out generally contains a list of resources used, so 
comes in handy for similar research projects.  As far as connecting 
"cousins," there has been a couple of occasions that I felt it 
appropriate, to "connect" two researchers who were working on the same 
exact line.  Basically, I asked permission of both beforehand and then 
emailed them both an introduction.
