Oh yea... I have, to this point found nothing. Not even a marriage lic. I checked the counties surrounding Fayette...too...but that was when I initially started this project. I guess I could recheck.. Searching for Thomas K. Springer (aka Harry K. Springer). My mother and her sisters remember him visiting in about 1940. He was with his second wife, and two or three children. His four granddaughters are still alive...when I ask them about him, I get four different responses....I keep checking. County by county. I even wrote to the US Steel Co. in Gary, Indiana (Opened about 1908-09, searching for old employment records). A lady there who is also interested in genealogy forwarded the information to the union in Indiana Harbor, Indiana (where my grandmother was born)... I am trying diligently and creatively to solve this....
