Hi Kathy - are you offering this book to give away, sell, or just do look ups. I think anyone that reads this board would be interested including myself. I descend from the Graham and Reed families in your list and several others, but those are the predominant ones. I am very interested in the book, but if you are going to donate it would vote for the Vermilion library or historical society because then it would be available to so many people. Please clarify your email for me. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: ilvermil-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ilvermil-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Susan Boblett Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2007 2:07 AM To: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com; ilvermil@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ILVERMIL] BOOK: History Under Our Feet - The Story of VermilionCounty by Stapp and Bowman 1968 Kathy, this is Truly a find!
