It's sounding like Abe Lincoln filmed them and others purchased the same films. I just wanted it clarified. I know it was a long shot, but in the absence of death certs, wills/probate, and even tombstones, I had to try for something concrete. Barb DID find something on Jacob that a paid researcher had missed; these can be very hard to find, I know. In those days there was no set place in a paper to report the deaths. They were mixed in with other articles. Thanks you for your assistance. I really appreciate it. Cheryl Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
