The index does not have first names. This is what I sent to another Parks researcher: >From The History of Tower Hill and Vicinity by Homer Eiler: p. 39 ""Verily in the midst of life we are in the midst of death" As often remarked that, "death is no respector of persons" we can also say that tragedies are no respector of homes, or the standing of the near relatives. Such is the case as regards the home of Rev. Parks, one of the most respected ministers who ever lived in Tower Hill. On the late 90's his son Tommy, was found several miles from home in a field with all indications of self destruction." Also on page 56, the Reverend Thomas Parks is listed as one of the pastors of the Presbyterian Church in Tower Hill. Hope this is useful...Sue ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 10:11 PM Subject: Re: [ILSHELBY] surname index > does it give first names for the people, i am interested in the parks surname. > >
