Nancy I also have cemetery book 3 and am wanting the rest of them but that's neither here nor there. LOL. I am going to print your email out and take it to Salem with me tomorrow and will either go to the courthouse tomorow or Wednesday. Tomorrow is bill paying day so will probably wait until Wednesday and will also see if Harold can help me a little to see what we can find on microfilm. He is such a wonderful help and makes me think of a human genealogy book because he seems knows all about this stuff. Anyway if I can get them from the courthouse, do you want me to go ahead and get copies. They were $9.00 each and now I think they raised them to $12.00. Not sure but think that is what Harold told me. I paid $9.00 last one I got . Don't know why they won't let you get a uncertified copy but they won't anymore.

Oh, I'm grateful, grateful, oh so grateful. Will mail you check for whatever you need as soon as you email me. Hope you can find something about where John Michael came from in Bavaria on something. He was considered one of the prominent citizens of Kinmundy in his time. My other g.g. granddad, Charles Wetter owned confectionary, then grocery store, then saloons there. Saloon corner was called Wetter's corner for many, many years. J.M. died suddenly of a heart attack on Nov. 14, 1895 at 49, think there might be an obit hiding somewhere. Ask your favorite "guru"! I plan to be buried beside him at Evergreen someday. Have a driving need to find out all I can.
