There seems to be some misconception from a previous message. I am getting many lookup requests for bio's for Franklin, Gasconade County, etc. I do not have time to honor lookup requests for any counties. I also do not have access to my books at this time. It is my plan to put them online as time permits sometime before I die. I am currently putting obituaries online submitted by other people from the old books for you to search yourself. These are for other counties. I thought I did see someone else offer to do lookups, whoever that was, please resend your offer. If you are searching for a name that may be in an obituary or biography, try the archives search engine. It will lead you to a list of possible files for you to search. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ussearch.htm Thanks. -- Joe L.
