Hi all, A few things of note. On the White County web site, I have started to index the columns of Charlene Shields on the page at www.rootsweb.com/~ilwhite2/wchs.html . I am just giving the title of the column plus any family names prominently discussed. I also have a link to test pages for the Mary Smith Fay library catalog. They are at www.rootsweb.com/~ilwcohs/msf1.htm and msf2.htm. They are almost too big to edit. Also, the LDS site at www.familysearch.org now has the 1880 US census transcription online. The library has the census on CD, and so far I like searching the CDs better than the net version. If you are going to be in the Carmi area November 4th please attend the fall meeting of the White County Historical Society, which features the annual Heritage House award. Email me for more information. Cindy Birk Conley Carmi, IL
