Hi Jim. I'm glad to see the info on Ancestory but what I can find is only 177 deaths which is barely a scratch on the surface. I subscribe to Ancestory, it's a bargain at 59.99 a year. If you could direct me to a more complete database I'd really love to see it as I do hate to repeat work already done. While I have your attention, I need the copies of the 1880 census I sent you as I don't have copies to do the final proof from. My sister lives in your area and I'll probally be in your neighborhood several times during the holiday period. Could I pick them up if I called in advance?
