Hello list, I haven`t posted before, but I saw the reference to searching the LDS files. I`m researching Coats in Sangamon Co. and went to the LDS Library and entered Coats and it returned, no files found. About a month later I went back and entered the same name but spelled Coats, Coat(e)s with an "e" and it came up with a lot of my family. Not only was their spelling wrong but some important info was also incorrect. This may be a fluke but it wouldn`t be a bad idea to use different spellings of the name of the person you are researching, and double check the dates and places you get from LDS. Marsha
