If you have some data that would be a nice addition to the site, please consider submitting it. Any submissions eagerly accepted, no matter the size; just e-mail me using the link below. It might take me a while to get it up, but I will. Contact me first if the file is large; I might think my mail system has frozen up.

You can also enter it into the Rootsweb system, and just e-mail me when its all up there, and the system will notify me so I can copy it over to make sure the search engine can find it. Currently, data posted to the Rootsweb system is gateway'd to the mailing list.

I would like to include some pages on the site, but frankly, I need submitter input to build them.

If you have/are researching a person who fits into the following category, please let me know:

(Links are to the offsite pages I am trying to mimic)

1. Migration database: Original people who moved into or out of Sullivan - frankly, this is just about anybody. (1st gen in or out)
data needed:
Surname, First Name, Maiden name (if woman), birth and death dates, From location, To location, moving date, your connection to this person and your name. ALL data must be available - "dropped in" cases won't work. For example, my Richard Hall of Bethel migrated into the area about 1835, but I have no idea from where so I can't add him.

2. Lost souls database: people you have found that don't quite fit into the standard family setup, including: Bound out children, Guardians with different surnames, Melded families, adopted children and parents of adopted children.

3. Rogues gallery
Stories about the famous/infamous around Sullivan Co. For example, I recently found a story in the NYTimes database about a Sullivan Co. woman who "made her escape"(newspapers words) from the Cochecton county house and died of exposure.

4. Enlisted mans roll of honor
A roll of individuals who enlisted in the Civil War and are largely ignored in most of the text about the war= the privates, etc. who were the backbone of the war effort.
Data required: Name, unit and company, service dates and reason for leaving. Also a mini bio of the person, with info like birth, death, marr info, locations where he lived, etc.

If anybody has an idea about another such category I haven't thought of, please pass it along too.
