Just want folks to know that I have recently started a new website http://www.poorhousestory.com which is intended to be a clearinghouse for information about all 19th century American Poorhouses (poor farms, almshouses, etc.) Since I started my research in NY ... there are many, many items for my favorite state! The site is my first attempt at web publishing and I am still rather unskilled at making the site look good -- but rather tenacious about gathering and spreading information about poorhouses. I will appreciate any feedback -- especially suggestions and HELP. Thanks, Linda (aka = The Poorhouse Lady)
