Now, over at the New Albany Public Library site I found quite a few more! Thank you so much for the link Sue, I had not found that one yet. Its like Christmas in September!!! How do I go about getting copies of all these (short of going there myself which is a bit of a trip)? I did see the "ask a librarian" link but it is not all clear to me yet. Guess I should contact the library. A few months ago I identified the house on Elm St. in New Albany which the Perkins/Walker family had passed around its members for better than 30 years. I looked in the real estate listings and found an agent who had a house listed a few doors down. I, on a whim, emailed him and told him the story of the house. Turns out another agent in New Albany now owns it. He did go out and take a few pictures of the property and email them to me within 2 days. The world is not void of nice people yet. <;-P Thanks all, Nina
