I just ran into this wonderful website and have to share it: http://www.umdl.umich.edu/moa/ "Making of America" has scanned images of pages from 1,600 books and 50,000 journal articles from the 19th century. And they're searchable too. I plugged ADRIAN into the search and found more than 1,000 hits of course. Not quite practical to look through them all. But you might have better luck if you can add a first name. ADRAIN researchers will find manageable hits in 14 publications. When you go to the listing of each book, you can also search within them for the page and pull up the scanned image. Most of us won't find our names, but I'm sure there's a wealth of historical information here that can help your research. Jodi
