Hello Don, Would you give us that question again, I am not able to understand you. When you say detail do you mean you want to know about the cemetaries or do you need all of the extracts for the Lail entries. I did not know that they were in the Gen Soc publication, I have them in the form of 8 seperate books that were published over a long period of time and are still available for purchase from them - Contact Catawba County Gen Society, P. O. Box 2406, Hickory, NC 18603. They cost $15.00 each plus $2.00 postage. If you buy them all at once that postage cost may be different. If you write to them for info please send a stamped self addressed envelope if you expect a reply. (Most Societies are no long answering queries that do not include such an envelope) As far as a CD is concerned, great idea - perhaps you should do that..... but if you do or if anyone does please don't forget all of us who use a MAC and so need to be able to make use of it also. Where are the St. John's records and have they been microfilmed? Making copies from a microfilm is not difficult and if the LDS have filmed those records as they have so many others, they should be available at any Family History Center.
