Note of Appreciation

I would like to thank Mr. John W. Ladwig of Henrietta, NY, for his kind donation of the copied Civil War poster. It is Mr. Ladwig's time of photocopying, mailing, expense of posting, and delivery of the copied poster to me that made this list possible for others to view on the Web. Also, Mr. Ladwig donated the original poster to the Niagara County Historical Society located at 215 Niagara Street, Lockport, NY 14094. Mr. Ladwig, a very special thank you! Your donation will surely help many in their search for ancestors in the Niagara County, NY, area.
