We're still out here. I'm working on Anderson, Rice, Roark, Conway and assorted relatives. Book on History of Old Gallitin county is great, by the way. C. Lind

I would like to know if practically everyone in Wm. and Saline Counties have quit genealogy, or am I not getting messages through from the list? Both list have been very quite the last few months. Thank you Linda

I had promised to relay information on how to get the book....."Commemorating 150 Years of History in Harrisburg, Illinois"..it's an 8 1/2 x 11 paperback with 89 black and white historic photos. Really nice. Call the Daily Register at 1-800283-8117. Provide your mailing information and credit card number to the front desk and they'll send your book first class in padded envelope. Cost is $15.60 per book. I got several for my brother, sister, Mother and myself. If anyone else has the book I'd like to discuss who some of the people are in the photos...the names aren't listed and it would be nice to know.
