I live in Calif, so getting to Marion Cty is a little difficult on a regular basis <g>. Is there a resource for local genealogists or budding ones to hire to research a problem I'm having finding someone? I found a wonderful high school student in Kentucky who wants to learn genealogy and basic research. It's so nice to not only get inexpensive research time, but also give great experience to a young one! She is planning to study library science. Cool, huh? Anyway, I look forward to receiving recommendations. Peg
