Just FYI If you go to the USGenWeb Archives you can search by state. You can search any state or do a nationwide search -- maybe not the best idea as the results could be overwhelming. I also discovered, by experimentation, that is best to do a surname and given name search as the surname only search can be pretty overwhelming. Note this search is limited to the special projects of USGenWeb, does not include mailing lists, census and other archives.
