The Ontario County Genealogical Society had a presentation this past week on the Fulton

History site, done by Dennis Hogan, a member of our group and the Rochester Gene. Soc.

He did a slide show presentation on how to use the Fulton History site. Here is the link he

gave us to his presentation on his website.  All free, by the way.

http://www.dennisAhogan.com and click on Lectures & handouts tab.  It shows you how to

navigate Fulton History.com.  This should help you.

It's a great site, but the searching tool needs serious work, plus it is very difficult to navigate to specific issues.  He needs a good librarian to help him organize. :)

Subject: [NYHIST-L] Fulton NY Man Digitizes 22 Million Historic Newspaper Pages

Here's a new story (video plus article) at Reason.com about Tom Tryniski's Fultonhistory.com, which I'm sure many people on this list are familiar with. Tryniski has digitized 22 million newspaper pages, primarily from New York papers. His site is getting about 6 million monthly views.
