----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Thanks to all those who responded to my posting asking whether there was a Passaic, New Zealand. There were very helpful responses, including one from New Zealand that pretty conclusively indicated that there has been no Passaic in New Zealand! The patron has determined that a newspaper was started in Passaic, New Jersey, in the 1870s, which was the time period of interest, so that he has faxed off to the current one to see whether it is the one for which he is trying to locate the founder.
