Tianne and all, SCCGS only has the 1907 Bio-sketch index (and others) online. Technically it is a 'do-it-yourself' lookup. And, while SCCGS does offer to make photocopies of the respective sketches to anyone who wants one, the society does *not have exclusive rights* to make the photocopies; any library with this particular book can, any individual can, as this 1907 source is out of copyright. The society would frown however on wholesale scans being sent out of material published by the society (cemetery books, church records, quarterly articles, online indexes converted into a different format for sale) unless permission has been obtained in advance. SCCGS hopes the indexes help in your research. Judging from the wonderful orders, we know many researchers take advantage of these resources the society offers. And, so as not to miss a chance, think about joining!
