I am Deaf, and (stupidly) I tend to think that we are the only people "excluded" from genealogy. I am wondering about ramped intrances to the archives you attend. One of my "pet peves" is that nasty "handicapped entrance in the rear". How can we all get these valuable assets made more available to ALL? Any ideas out there?? I am Suz. I am Deaf. My email is deafmtnbear@gmail.com or just keep writing to James Tanner's Blog (?).

There I must park very far away, or take the subway, which then makes it impossible for me to carry anything to the library. Other libraries and archives are OK for access. I love cemeteries, but that is hard for me, too. The computer and online databases have been wonderful for me in the last few years, but as you know, not everything is online.Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.com
