Hi Just to let the folks know that are researching lines here in Ashley Co - the staff of the Paul Sullins library in Crossett generally finds time to do copy requests - it cost me 25 cents per page last time I got some material copied there. Can't speak as to the Ashley County Library in Hamburg staff situation or policy as I never visited that location though I have lived in the county for many years. The email address for the public library in Crossett is psl@cei.net and the phone number is 870-364-2230 fax line 870-364-2231. They have always been very helpful for any research that I have done there. Additionally there have been meetings of the genealogical society at the library in Crossett - the librarians can tell you more as to what assistance might be obtained from that source as well.
