Good pointers there, Clar! I still have my old high school yearbooks beginning from when I was in 7th grade through graduation. Unfortunately, none of my family was from that area. Eh, well..... *shrug* ;-) Best, SueB http://www.cdbaby.com/suegilmore ----- Original Message ----- From: Clar Pratt To: BLACKSHEEP-CHAT-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, 12 June, 2003 10:38 PM Subject: [BSChat] another subject Reminder, if anybody else forgets the basics as I did recently, on genealogy research. Trying to track an old market and owner, found initially only an address, no picture of store or owner. Librarian swifter than I suggested check out the high school annuals. Sure enough the store had helped sponsor the annual and inthe back pages I found 6 years of pictures which included both owner and wife. So easily we forget basics.
