As has been mentioned previously, we owe a great deal to the people who compile and publish helpful materials like the cemetery book DEBS has been sharing. In order to continue to produce publications, local societies need to actually sell their books. Often it is hard to decide when a book is worth your money, and that's where a lookup becomes valuable. As you research a family in an area, new names come to light which are certain to send you scrambling back through previous materials to find more information. If you have found these lookups to be useful to you, please consider adding the book to your personal research library. Information on publications for sale is located on most of the society web pages. The societies with web sites are linked from our county page at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilkane Also consider joining the local society when you have a concentration of research. This will put you in touch with the "unwired" world where you may find that missing connection. Monthly or quarterly publications by local societies can be a gold-mine of information. I believe this cemetery book is a publication of the Kane County Genealogical Society. Thanks for your time, Marcia ILKANE Admin
