5. Surfing the web
5.1 Where is the offical GEN-NYS-L web page?
The URL for the web page is:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~nozell/gen-nys-l.html
Some GEN-NYS-L ``old timers'' or people using web search engines may also be familiar with the old URL (http://www.mv.com/ipusers/wildcat/gen-nys-l.html), while this currently is identical to what is on www.rootsweb.com, it will eventually go away.
5.2 Are there any other NY genealogy related web pages?
The USGenWeb project has a New York State web page:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~nygenweb/In additional to providing original information, it contains a number of pointer to other NY research web sites. I urge everyone to take a look at this execellent page and consider contributing time, information or expertise.
Kim Harris Myers <estral@vivanet.com> is the coordinator for NYS Genealogy Web page.
5.3 How can I find out what newspapers are available on microfilm at the New York State Library?
A list of the Early American Newspaper Collection (one file for each of 21 states) may be found at
gopher://unix2.nysed.gov:70/00/nyslpubs/ea.newspaper.coll/
A separate list for the microfilm collected by the New York State Newspaper Project (one file for each county) may be found at
gopher://unix2.nysed.gov:70/00/nyslpubs/nys.newspaper/
