Fran, Please do not quit listing the indexes to your books. If you do, my Great Grandmother, Virginia L. Bailey might just appear in one of them, and I would never know it. Others, It takes much time to write, and index these books, and if there is even 100 people on the list, think how much time it would take to do just one lookup for each of these people. I do free lookups from the materials I have here at home, for people who request my help, but I don't do "Give me all the Smiths", if you want this kind of help, you need to either: A. buy a book B. Go to a library that has this book C. Pay someone to do lookup for you Helping people find a relative is fun, but it takes lots of time, and you wouldn't go to a job and work for free for very long, so please, consider what you are requesting. Hope I didn't step on too many toes!! Jettie Henley Parrish

Very well put Jettie.
