Melissa, I also answered Marcie at her address. The sad thing is I had the Archives open for someone else at the time and it is a shame that she didn't contact us. She could have found most of what she was looking for at the Archives. We are always glad, if possible, to open up for someone from out of town if they can't visit us during the hours we are open. As I told her she would also find a smile there.

Her message was posted to the Drew County query board and then forwarded to ARDREW. I replied to her last night with my experiences doing research in Drew County, and told her about which courthouse office has which records, and that the archives might have copies of census records (glad to hear from Mary that I guessed right on that one!). ***** I will forward the posts from this morning along to Marci. If anyone else would like to write her with advice, please e-mail [email protected] ***** Since I felt it was negative publicity for the hard-working people at the Drew County courthouse, library and archives, I deleted Marci's message from the query board. It was not the right forum for venting of that sort. --Melissa At 12:46 PM -0500 2/3/01, [email protected] wrote: >Marci I have a couple of census records for Drew--if you could send me who >you are looking for I might be able to find it for you. > >Sherry
