Dear Erika, Thanks so much for offering to help out! I didn't know how to "pick" from the 5 volunteers and be fair, so I put a number on 5 doggie treats & let my dog decide. Kona chose #3 (you were #5). So you can see, I am a firm believer in doing things impartially!! I hope to have the list of early marriages on the Allamakee web-site by mid-April (depends on when the transcription comes back to me). It will be a valuable addition to our web-site.
