It has about 500 members and innumerable resources and people doing all kinds of look ups. Pray you have kin who ended up there because you will get really knowledgeable help there. With the expense of the above mentioned book, I am wondering if anyone would be willing to do lookups for this list in it? I would be willing to help with any help needed in Glynn Co for trade.
