Roxanne, I can't tell you how much I appreciate what you have given me. Since I wrote to you I have found so many of my ancestors in the Index that I ordered the book for my own research library. It was only 25.00 from Amazon so I bought it plus Clift's Kentucky marriages, 1797-1865. If I can do a look-up in that one for you just holler.
