Here is a searchable site at the University of Michigan that may be of interest to some. It contains books and periodicals from the 19th century that have been scanned - you don't see a transcription, you see the real thing. One of the items I looked at was an Ohio Gazetteer and Business Directory for 1861 - very interesting! http://www.umdl.umich.edu/moa/index.html Annette DeHoff netandmike@nni.com (Currently searching for Jeffries in VA>NC>TN>AL>OH>IN)
