Is anybody out there researching the Joseph Caldwell family? My ggg grandmother is supposed to have migrated from Ohio to Berrien County in the 1830s traveling with the Joseph Caldwell family as her husband had died and she had 3 young children. They all settled on Lake Shore Drive in Hagar Township and both families owned land near each other for many years. Thanks! Nancy Reger The Regers regerfl@earthlink.net 3073 88th St. Circle E.

Thanks Daundra, but I'm going to call the library tomorrow to inquire about getting the copies. It cost 15 cents a copy when I was there, but the price may have gone up since then.

Cindy, I know the library will do that for you, for a fee. Contact the ref librarian there via phone to obtain a fee.

Hello everyone- I visited the Niles library for a few hours last summer and due to time limitations I was only able to get a list of obituaries and the newspaper they appeared in. I would like to find someone that would be willing to get copies of 9 obituaries for me. I will be willing to pay someone to do this. Please respond to gcm@greatlakes.net Thanks- Cindy Murphy

Please remove me from all your lists dealing with MIBERRIE-D and MIBERRIE-L These hoaxes are not nice to receive. I checked all my virus check sources and didn't find the <sulfnbk.exe> mentioned anywhere. I did find it when I checked my files and removed it. I never had it before the message yesterday that mentioned it. Could it be that that sender was responsible for sending the file? I don't need messages like that.

Ok everyone. Lets stop sending out these notes on virus warnings. As I mentioned before, if everyone takes precautions, you have nothing to worry about!! This SULFNBK is a HOAX. Use your skills and check it out! My computer is living without the file, I removed it when I was sent this notice months ago.
