I'll be your genealogy buddy. What kind of books do you have? I'll let you know when I can come over and I'll bring my cousin with me, she is trying to get into genealogy, we both live real close to you, We both live in Affton. She lives on Croyden and I live at 5118 Hilda Ave. My street is right behind Salem Lutheran Church's play ground. It's a dead in street I know what you mean by a lot of shelf space . I have almost that much on my side of the family. I'm on a dead end on that right now so I'm going to try to look into my husband Johns' dad's side of the family . Talk to you real soon, I'll have to get back with you about a time we can get together. I have to hunt up all of my Knowles, Cater, and Howard info.
