Hi Janet and All, You make a very good point regarding Lawrence County materials, and I don't know if there's an easy way to get people,who own these materials, involved to help others out, but I know that Edgar Byler III is doing an excellent job on the TNWayne-L mailing list in that respect. Unfortunately for most of us, we have some resources for some states and counties, but not for others. It's something which would be wonderful to see happen. Jean Cuevas PS. Do you know of on-line resources for Dade County marriages? Thanks!
