Thanks for everyone who answered about genealogical society and historical society for Lucas Co. Sounds like I should get to the library and hunt myself. My home town did the same and it is great. Jerilyn

For sure you should see the Lucas Co. Genealogical Society. It is an A-1 organization who really has their genealogical act together. I went there with my (I hoped) my great-grandmother's name and went away with a huge amount of information about her, her siblings, parents and her children, their children and so forth. They had the name cross referenced to various records (school/funeral/cemetery/military and so forth) and away I went. With that information I was able to start the journey back to the family's arrival in America in 1637 CT.!!! So run, not walk to this great society. Good hunting. Sandy in Calif.
