Thanks Jerry. I agree with you about the 1870 maps. They include some of my ancestors who were not subscribers to the 1870 Atlas. The tricky part is getting a good scan of pages that are as large as they are. Let me know if you have any ideas. I welcome any postcards or other things you can contribute.

I have this book and it is where I got my information that tied everything together for me. It is too bad that you had to be a subscriber to get in the book. Possibly the maps could be put on sometime as I know I have ancestors that owned land and it shows where they lived, even though they weren't a subscriber. I plan to check my old postcards sometime for your site. Keep up the good work.
