Hello Lincoln County researchers.... Carolyn Ward, state co-coordinator of KSGenWeb, has recently added vol. 4 of the 1919 edition of A STANDARD HISTORY OF KANSAS AND KANSANS online at: <http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/archives/1919ks/index.html>http://skyways. lib.ks.us/genweb/archives/1919ks/index.html I did some searching and found two former Lincoln County residents in the online book: Virgil Oliver HERMAN (born in Lincoln County December 20, 1876. Living in Garden City, KS, in 1919) <http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/archives/1919ks/h/hermanvo.html>http://sky ways.lib.ks.us/genweb/archives/1919ks/h/hermanvo.html Guy C. BIGGS (son of Alexander BIGGS of Lincoln County. Living in Lane County, KS, in 1919) <http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/archives/1919ks/b/biggsgc.html>http://skyw ays.lib.ks.us/genweb/archives/1919ks/b/biggsgc.html You can do a search on Blue Skyways (the server where much of KSGenWeb is located) and see if you have relations in this book. Just go to: <http://skyways.lib.ks.us/skysearch.html>http://skyways.lib.ks.us/skysearch. html Just as a sample I decided to see if there were any entries in this book for Barton County, Kansas. This is the search I did: 1919 and standard and kansans and "barton county" Be sure to put "barton county" (or "pawnee county" or "stanton county" etc etc in quotes) My Barton County search turned up 18 entries.... 16 of them were from the 1919 history. You can do this search for all sorts of things on blue skyways. FYI.... the complete 5 volume set of the 1918 edition of the STANDARD HISTORY is also online at: <http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/archives/1918ks>http://skyways.lib.ks.us/g enweb/archives/1918ks/ Happy New Year to you all.
