> yes, there are many great sources in the NJ area, the David Library being
at or close to the top. I was looking to "cheat" and not have to transcribe
so many items. I have done some transcribing of journals, etc. to start
this site. It has been slow going, and I thought that it would be nice to
not duplicate so much when other people have done it and would be willing to
share.
