You've got that right! When I first moved here, I thought I wouldn't be able to research my Chicago family. Actually, our films are in better shape than the ones in Chicago. I once had the Joliet library request a copy of an 1910 Tribune death notice of my gGrandmother, and it was very scratchy and difficult to read. I got the same page here in Springfield and it's perfect. > thanks for all the look ups .... > I kinda think that these dark dungeons are your second homes.... > so mollyGIRL keep up the good work > and for you folks who are searching illinois.. and use cyberdriveillinois... molly is the gal to reach to GET the treasure.... > the more you give her in info, the better for you...as in cheaper than the already cheap... > www.mollx.com<http://www.mollx.com/> Absolutely! I would do random acts of kindness to "repay" in kind for help I received from strangers, but since this is a livelihood for Molly, I have held back in doing them. I'm not opposed to helping people out, but don't want to take away from Molly. > "Is he in these parts? " all over, never in one place toooooo long... Well, if you're ever in Springfield and need someone to show you the ropes at the archives, feel free to contact me. I've not been to the new Presidential Library yet. Gotta get over there after Christmas maybe. The Presidential Museum is fantastic! A must see for anyone that comes to town. Lila -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
