For those subscribers who are dues paying members of the National Genealogical Society, Arlington, VA, this is to advise that there is a lending library of NGS. The books, however, are held at the St. Louis, Missouri COUNTY Library. Go to the _www.ngsgenealogy.org_ (http://www.ngsgenealogy.org) to get more information. At any rate, while checking on the date of the upcoming NGS Natonal conference to be held in Richmond, VA in May 2007, I found a link to the St. Louis Co. Library. I did an author search and learned that they have one copy of Starling's book as indicated in subject. It seems to have been reproduced/reprinted in 1993 by Higginson Publishers. Whether there are other copies available, I cannot say. Check as many online catalogs as you can. Sutro Library, a branch of the California State Library, has a link to a catalog of all genealogical libraries. I am doing a task and do not have time to search. That is for you to discover.
