Good afternoon, Because Darlene sent me a very nice note wanting to know if I would ever have time to read a newspaper from Washington or Linn County, I have ordered the following two newspapers: The Washington Republican, May 4, 1900 to August 30, 1901, KSHS Microfilm Roll # W-134 and LaCygne Weekly Journal, January 1, 1897 to April 27, 1900, KSHS Microfilm Roll # L-11. These rolls of film won't reach my library for at least another two weeks. However, in the mean time, to make it more interesting to me and to help any of you that wish it, it would be a good idea if you would send me any surnames you are interested in or are researching from these two counties. I have no affliation with these two counties nor can I promise when I will be able to read more of the newpapers nor do I know if these two newspapers will even be "newsy" in a genealogical sense. Some are not, and I do read a lot of old newspapers. Darlene, I have your HUFFMAN from Washington County and your AYERS from Linn County. Anyone else wishing to get on the list let me know soonest. As I normally do, obituaries will be posted as well, to the KS-Footsteps mail list and all material will be posted to the KS-Oldnewspaper mail list, as well as too the Washington and Linn county lists, as appropriate. Have a good one!! Jim
