Incoming Changes

Effective November 1 and the completion will be January 1

1. No paper copy for all types of records except Wills, effective immediately

2. Wills paper copy will cease January 1.

Cost adjustment will begin November 1 and completion on January 1, 2012

The objective is to end the dependency on paper copy for good. I already allowed 2 years grace period for the changeover.

There is no logic to having paper copies anymore since so much are being digitalized. Not only that, the digital copies are frequently of higher quality than paper copy when they are from SAMPUBCO.

For more reading about going paperless. Dick Eastman wrote an article about this.

These aren't only items. Lots of volumes on the site.

What's new? What honor - again?

Now I see SAMPUBCO had been voted again as one of best State Websites by Family Tree Magazine. It was the voters who thought so.

Now what's added to the SAMPUBCO :


52 volumes of indexes were added since Aug 8, 2011. States - New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Illinois and North Carolina.

Soon to add, more from North Carolina, New York and Kentucky within few days.
