To Lori Bowen Gwyn If you don't subscribe to Ancestry, see if there is a Mormon Family History Library close to you; look in the white pages for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. If there is one close enough, call them and ask for their days and hours open. The volunteers there are expert at finding people and would love to help you out. The only charge is a few cents for copies of things they find. (It helps defray the cost of copy paper and computer repair.) You can also go to www.FamilySearch.org (the church's genealogy website) and see if you can find anything there. You might also go online and see if the town where your ancestor was born has a genealogical or historical society; they can be quite helpful. The unfortunate thing is that a lot of towns didn't start keeping records until sometime in the 1900s. Good luck; they're there and ready to be found! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, May 17, 2011 12:00 am Subject: ARPOPE Digest, Vol 6, Issue 9 Today's Topics: 1.
