Surname Mailing Lists
by Richard Pence
You can get a computerized list for any surname in the U.S. from
Computer Genealogies, P.O. Box 568, Revere PA 18953; phone 215-847-2690.
In 1988 each surname directory was $14.85, plus $2 shipping and
handling, but I have heard the price has increased to around $20. Send
your shipping address along with the surname(s) you want directories
for. Make checks payable to Computer Genealogies.
These are DIRECTORIES not genealogies and are based on those compiled by
Reuben H. Donnelly Corporation. Donnelly uses a variety of sources,
including city directories, telephone books, real estate records. Each
surname represents a separate directory search and fee. What is provided
is a name, address and zip code, not a telephone number. I have heard no
negative reports on this service and the price is certainly better than
those $30+ "genealogies" you get ads for in the mail. It is also much
more efficient and effective than leaving a request on this echo for
everyone to check their local phone books for a certain surname.
