Somewhere is the book he created of records on my RUSSELL family that had to include LAMBERT, BUTLER records too. I have found one living descendant but she has no idea where book would be. My great grandfather copied some records from this book in 1921. Does anyone know if the Godfrey Library in CT., still has this database?
