I am kind of lost. Are you trying to sell the book, or what are you doing if you are not willing to do any lookups?. You have already listed the names in the index so what would be the purpose of anyone asking for a lookup in the index??? Am I missing something?

I will be happy to check for your surnames in the index, but no other lookups, please.

Let me see if I can clear up your confusion, Joyce. I'm not trying to sell the book. I don't own it. I'm simply a volunteer who gets a long, long list of postings every day from RootsWeb because they have a Boles/Bowles/Bolles/Boales etc. mentioned in them. I go through those and cull out the ones we've seen before, all the recipes with bowls in them, etc. Those that remain I send to the Bowles list as a courtesy. My feeling is that if a book exists, we should know about it. Maybe we can get it from a library, borrow it from a friend, buy it on e-Bay. But we should have every resource possible available to us. Sometimes it's a book that is mentioned for sale on that long, long list of postings. Since we are not allowed to sell anything on our surname lists, I remove the cost of the book mentioned at the bottom of the posting and then I forward it to the Bowles list. Thus we all know about it and can begin to search for it if we think that our ancestors are mentioned in it. In this particular posting, Helen is selling the book. So that you don't buy the book without knowing whether your surnamed ancestors are in it, she's sometimes willing to do a lookup for people who want to know if their ancestors may be in there. Notice that she cuts off the index at the D's, and that there are the surnames which remain in the rest of the alphabet in the book. She's offering to look in the index to see if there are surnames (for example) such as the Harrises, Livingstons, Morrises, and so on listed in the index. I doubt that she would enjoy spending lots of time typing up all the specific information that's in the book about a set of ancestors---she has a business to run. But since we now know that this book exists, we can go to our library to see if it's there, or if they'll do an Interlibrary Loan for us. Yours with best wishes, Linne >I am kind of lost.
