Thanks to Mimi for her work....and for including the links to the two sites in her messages. I want to point out that this Rootsweb mailing list, the US GenWeb Project for Henry County, and the Henry County Genealogical Society are three separate entities and are not officially connected to each other except common interest...While I am sure some of us know that, the newbies and less frequent listers may not.... I for one appreciate volunteers...and I am more than happy to do what I can...I also think the HCGS has great publications... I have not purchased anything yet (I am unemployed and without insurance at the moment) but they do have outstanding publications which are very detailed.. The rates are what other societies use as well so I am sure they are not out for the $$.. I agree with Mimi, one surname always leads to another... After a few years of researching one name in Henry county I am convinced I am related to half the population.. LOL best wishes Stephen MStang5165@aol.com wrote:O.K., before all the lookup requests start coming in, everyone needs to go to the Henry County website, click on "Lookup Volunteers" and see what is listed there! I volunteered for the one and only marriage index book that I own, and it covers Jan. 1902 - May 1915. There are a number of other volumes available with no lookup volunteers. But, all those books may be purchased from the Henry County Genealogical Society. I have, over the years, purchased many, many of their publications, especially the cemetery records, and I think we all need to continue to support them by purchasing these books. Even if you only have one or two names in them right now, I can almost guarantee that sometime in the future you will need to look for another name! I am willing to continue to do lookups under the guidelines established by our webmaster - she has done a great job of listing these on the Lookup Volunteers page.
