You know, cousin Linda, I wonder if this person has access to the map library at the Univ. of Texas (they supposedly have one of the best in the world) and just started scanning.....lol. It does say they're located in Texas...so it's not someone in a historical society in Illinois. So it was published by a company in Chicago, huh. Sounds interesting. Too bad the auction's over...I might have bid on it. You do those types of searches on ebay all the time, don't you.....put "Effingham" in the window and see if something matches? That what you did for the prayer book that I gave to Adele Kruger, too?

Linda I am all for which ever way is easiest for you to do. My surname Thies is the same and my email address should be the same. I have also volunteered to do lookups for the St. Anthony High school year books 1982-85. All that should still be the same.

Thanks for all your positive replies. I have been doing a marathon session, and right now, all the surnames (to my knowledge) should have updated email addresses unless those people failed to notify me. I still have to upload the changes, and that should be done in the next couple of hours. I have quite a few new surnames to add, and hopefully I can finish that this weekend. Getting a new Dell Pentium 4 computer and moving up to Windows XP Pro has helped a lot!!! <grin> I just flat out wore out my old computer. If you find an email link that is NOT good on ANY page, please let me know so I can remove it. That's how you all could help me. I just can't believe how often some people change email addresses. I've had my same email address since the spring of 1997 and it would be horrific for me to change it seeing how many genealogy mailing lists I'm on, not to mention the GenWeb page, genealogy pals, family & friends, etc. <shudder> I'm working on the queries now......<sigh> Give me till about 4 PM Arizona time (it's 12:15 here now) and then you can start checking for new stuff. So far, I've not archived anything....... Linda "All incoming and outgoing email is scanned by Norton's Anti-Virus, updated daily".

Linda, If there is sufficient address information to warrant placing it in an archive page (clearly marked), that would be one possible suggestion.

Starting over makes sense to me I am so much further along that anything I repost would be more accurate. Anything of relevance would have been picked up already to my way of thinking. However, I am a solitary voice Lynn
