Just to reiterate what is being said ... YES, the Lucas Co. Genealogical Society housed at the Free Library at Chariton is FANTASTIC. It is unbelievable the amount of information they have not only compiled but published so us out of state folks can research and enjoy the process from afar!! Thanks so much LCGS!! If anyone is wondering whether or not to go, do not hesitate... it is worth your while. Happy Hunting, Mary Beth in Wisconsin
