I'm interested in the Gaskin book as well. If anyone hears when it is available, please let me know. I had several relatives buried from Gaskins many years ago. ----- Original Message ----- From: "C L Lind" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2003 2:42 PM Subject: Re: [ILSALINE-L] Southern IL 1810 Census > Dear Leanna, > > I also would like to obtain a copy.

I believe the book will encompass all of Saline County. I only found out about it at Gaskins because I was there to see the old pictures and the man told me someone had been in to scan them for the book. It should be pure gold for those of us who call Saline County our birthplace!
