Several of the states have a Dept of Archives with a catalogue of holdings online. It would be wonderful if there was some way to download those holdings into GenSmarts and search for possible matches.

Several of these are already in GenSmarts (Arizona, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, California...etc.)

Which states are you referring to that we should add?

Dear List Members:

We have recently posted a large number of finding aids to the State

Archives' website. In addition to guides linked from our catalog pages

(see below), we have also posted our guide "Using the Records of the

East and West Jersey Proprietors." The direct link to this pdf is:

http://www.njarchives.org/links/pdf/proprietors.pdf

Selected collection guides are now available online for seven catalog

query pages listed below. Finding aids range from simple box or reels

lists to detailed guides containing content notes, institutional

histories and item-level inventories. Direct links to several guides of particular genealogical value (i.e., containing name lists and/or

item-level descriptions) are included at the end.

Please feel free to forward or post this information to any relevant

historical or genealogical lists or sites.

Special thanks to Veronica Calder and Lois Bredlow of the State Archives

staff for their continued work on html mark-up.

With best wishes for a joyous holiday season,

Joseph R. Klett

The Utah State Archives has a searchable index -- very good for Birth, Marriage, Death, Probate, and Naturalization record types.
