Preserve Access to Genealogy Records!

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service is proposing considerable price increases for requests for copies of immigration records.

As reported by Jan Meisels Allen "a coalition of genealogists, historians and records access advocates have created a portal about this with suggestions." Please see:
https://www.recordsnotrevenue.com/

At the top of this site is a menu with links which describe the records, provide examples of files, give suggestions for starting conversations about the issue and give instructions about how to make your voice heard.

At the bottom of this site there is a one-page summary to download.

Please take time to read about this important issue and submit your comments before the December 30 deadline.

"Don't delay, submit your comments about the proposed fee hike today! The deadline is December 16 30, 2019!"

I will be sending this message to our members and hope that they will share it with all their contacts.
