Hello List - I have a chance to be in Whiteside County for about 2 days at the end of the month and would like to do some research on 2 of my family lines - Smedley and Martin. I would like to spend the time at a library but am not sure which has the best resources for Whiteside County? Morrison? Sterling? Any suggestions? Appreciate it. Kathryn Hier Banos Spring, Texas

There are very few of us left and I wanted something for my children and grandchildren. Thank you again. Carole
