i am going there in a few weeks. i have some business to take care of with my mothers estate, but if i have the time i could go over there for you, if you want. i'm not sure they would give me info but i do have the gift of gab and can usually get what i want. if not....i could take some pictures and give them your addy so they will contact you. i also have alot of family in harrison and floyd county and they can help you if i don't have enough time. because of personal "issues" going on with the estate, i want to get in the state and get out, so hopefully i won't be there that many days. email me privately if you need me to do some leg work for you. if anyone else needs help email me privately also. i don't think i will have time to sit in a library but i have a digital camera and i can run over to some cemeterys. also...my family has lived in that area since the 1800's soooo if anybody has questions i can try and provide info the best i can. its a small town and everybody knew everybody and i know alot of the names i've seen mentioned on this list. i'll be quiet now before i get in twouble from chatting too much. ;-) In a message dated 9/10/2006 7:20:33 PM Pacific Daylight Time, waughtel@oz.net writes: Thanks, I have written them several times over the course of 30 years. Never once a reply, nor acknowledgement. I don't use a telephone due to hearing problems. I do have a distant cousin in New Jersey who is planning a trip to New Albany and I will be sending her this information. Thanks so very much. not all those who wander are lost.....wintu
