Tampico Historical Society - Updates for Jan., 200
February 1, 2006
Wow! It's been a very busy month! The MESSAGE BOARD has
really been active! We have received many contributions
this month, both monetary and historical. Many thanks to
all who contributed! The following is a list of the new
entries on our website. For a direct link to all of them,
see our WHAT'S NEW page

NEW ENTRIES FOR JANUARY 2006
ANNOUNCEMENTS
I have upgraded our site-search engine. It will now "read"
pdf files. This should prove very beneficial to many since
many of our "Family History Charts" are posted in pdf
format.
I recommend you do a site-search periodically (at least
once/week) for surnames you are interested in. Often there
is much history on a family incorporated into another
family's biography or in the Town/Township histories. This
is one of the perks of having these biographical sketches
posted online, since the books do not index all surnames
found in the book. Our site-search engine is automatically
updated every Monday - more often if I have time to do it
manually.
I also recommend you sign up for our monthly newsletter.
Once you sign up, you will receive a confirmation email.
You MUST reply to this email in order to activate your
registration. The Newsletter is a copy of the "What's New"
section of the site, sent directly to your email. This is
another FREE service offered.
