Helen, Thank you for the offer to help. I do have a comment about transcribing or something to help the library. My genealogical donations are to my local society. We started a group in 1985 and have now become quite well known for our contributions to the history of our state and local county. It never occured to me that I should be asking a library (historical soc.) that I visited in another state if I could help transcribe or whatever. I've taken the valuable time I have on this earth to help my family know more about our roots through newsletters, etc. I had a lot to look for in OK and hit so many brick walls, it almost discouraged my mission. My advise to others who ask me about OK research is to find cousins, no matter how distant, they are the depository of valuable information for your family. Those same people, who have found out the hard way that not so long ago, genealogy was not so important in your state, have contributed vast amt.s of time and records to OK Websites. God Bless Them. I'm sure this includes you. One thing I have done to contribute to the OK Hist. Soc. is to send them my findings so no one else looking for this information will have to go through what I did. Janice
