Lists members, I hope this will be considered genealogically related. I have a question to put to my fellow genealogists. I recently came across a very old family book on the RATHBONE line, this book is in somewhat poor condition, as the binder is shot, but the interior appears to be intact. Has many pictures of family members and different surname links. Book was published in 1898. I am not a book expert but this book I've been told could possibly be restored and could last another hundred years. My dilemma is that I keep getting look-up request and I have politely refused on above conditions. I know how wonderful it is to get others to do look-ups for you when they have something that is possibly unattainable by yourself. I feel bad in refusing to do this and almost feel obligated to do, but I keep telling myself that if I do this thing I might harm this valuable piece of history. Thank you for your kind attention. Please give me some feedback. Julius
