Sorry Carol, I forgot to change the subject line. You had responded to the list on the Lanham look up and I was hoping there was an earlier book ... if so , I would request a look up for the information on the marriage of Reuben Ramsey to Mary Swank and after Mary died, the marriage of Reuben Ramsey to Anna Oliver. Ramsey/Swank should have been not long after the civil war was over .... Ramsey/Oliver should have been around 1877 I am really hoping for the names of the parents of these three as a bonus He and Anna Oliver Ramsey appear with their first child, May, on the 1880 census for Danville Twp, though I don't know yet if that is the only part of Vermilion Co they ever lived in. ron At 09:51 AM 9/6/99 -0500, you wrote: >There are several marriage books.
