Hi you guys, > Lori: Sorry, somehow I missed the "bus", but would like to know what the > Toph Papers are and what they cover.

The Toph Papers are a 3000+ pages collection of family histories, that Ms. Toph created in the 1930s (after she retired from teaching) by traveling the county, and gathering family trees/history from as many people as she could, and writing these down. These papers are not part of her 'the Peoples' History' collection. That collection is mainly anectdotal. How are you guys doing? I see you in that little Around Madison (??) paper, which I get once in awhile. Lori
