Nancy check out - familysearch.org. The family history Library is mantained by the Mormon church in Salt Lake City. They also have smaller branch libraries in most areas of the country. You can see what records are available in the library catalog on line. I believe you can also find their closest local library to your home. Then you go to your closest local facility and for a very small fee (about $3) you can order the film or micro fiche in and you have it for 3 months to use at the local branch library. They have more records available then most of the historical societies. Nancy Nancy
