Fran and others, I have purchased many census index CD's and PERSI and other such sources to help me locate ancestors. That is exactly what Fran has been furnishing us at no charge. For the indexes I have and the AR Newspapers we still have to go to a library, rent a microfilm, purchase a book or visit a courthouse for original records. There is a usually a cost of some kind involved which is very fair, considering the time investment to provide these sources. It is also quite easy to delete the articles listed as indexes should one choose. I hope that those of us who would like to see these indexes will not be deprived of that privilege. Best wishes to all on their searches. Peggy
