Thanks so much to the folks doing the index - I've already found several things of interest.

Seeking any information or suggestions re the family of Andrew COMO, who was in Boulder County in the 1870s. According to the BLM database of land patents, Andrew COMO bought 160 acres in the area of what's now Caribou Ranch, west of Boulder, on 6 Jun 1879. Henry COMO (relationship unknown) bought another 160 acres adjacent to Andrew's on the same day. According to http://snipurl.com/8xr9 "Como Creek is named after the Como family, who homesteaded the northeast part of Caribou Ranch Homestead." (p. 48) Settlers in that area were generally Irish or French Canadian. In the 1870 census, Henry COMO is a single farm laborer in Boulder County, age 36, born in Canada. (His surname is shown as COMS in the Ancestry index.) I have not found Andrew in 1870, nor Henry in 1880. I have an Andrew COMO in Missoula MT in 1880, age 46, born in Canada, and I'd like to know if he was the same person as the one in Colorado. My clues so far are (a) that it's an uncommon name and Henry looks like a possible brother and (b) that although the Missoula Andrew was born in Canada, one of his children in a later census just once gives her father's birthplace as Colorado. All suggestions welcomed. Daniel Morgan Washington DC _________________________________________________________________ On the road to retirement?

Ever wonder where to find photographs of soldiers who died in World War I? It seems our legwork was done for us by three veterans of the war who spent two years compiling photographs of those who died in the war. Soldiers of the Great War pub 1920, Washington DC, Soldiers record publishing association. Compiled by Haulsee, W.M., Howe, F.G. and Doyle, A.C. Vol 1 Alabama - Maryland Vol 2 Massachusetts - Ohio Vol 3 Oklahoma - Wyoming with supplement. The supplement in Vol 3 contains photographs from all the states sent by relatives that missed the deadline for submission. Instead of refusing them the staff created a last minute addition to volume 3. According to CARL and Prospector, DPL (Western History) and the PPLD have copies as do many of the university libraries including CC, UNC, CSU and CU-Boulder. Used bookstore prices quoted are about $250 for the set. Pauli P.S. Ancestory has an index to the names, hometowns from each state available for members but not the photographs.

Two Upson records I did find include the 10 Apr 1897 marriage of Luther O. Upson and Josie M. Farnsworth, and the Columbia Cemetery record of Benjamin Lockwood Upson (10 Jul 1853 - 30 Nov 1915 Sunshine Canyon, CO).
