Tom, thank you for your post. Chuck works very hard at this job and gets no compensation for it. My hats off to Chuck for taking on these duties.

Thank you Tom and everyone else for your nice comments.

Yes, I'm the chairman and the committee all rolled into one. When I was asked if I wanted to be more involved with the PGCA, the only thing I could think of was possibly to help Mark Conrad with the research letters. I had done much genealogy research and reading old documents was very interesting to me. Once I saw how the research on Parkers were done, I realized that it's a job for one person only because the books and database is all in one place and one person can do it all. Volunteers were needed when the copies were made in Ilion years ago and possibly when the records eventually get digitized, we will need volunteers to help again.

One last thing, I try to get the letters out in 1 or 2 days after receiving the form. If you don't get your letter within 2 weeks, contact me! I sent out a letter in the middle of September to a P.O. Box, it sat there for weeks before it was returned to me. It's also important to include your e-mail address and/or your telephone number on the research form in case I need to contact you.

Regards....Chuck

You're doing a great job Chuck, and I can't think of anyone better suited to the job.

Keep up the Great Work!
