Cathy, Sorry for being so late in replying ... book arrived and found valuable information in the newspapers files... just terrific, more family members to lookup ... I want to let everyone in the group to know that the individuals at the Corning Courthouse we most welcomed in assisting me over the phone.. this does not hold true in some states courthouse where they want you to send them a letter because they are over worked, and have no time to answer genealogy quests or information... even if you have the dates for them... Jerry in Kansas
