Pat here: I sure never picked up one tiny harsh tone. I loved the listing of Brad Pitts family names and where it could be found. I've taken the Lawrence County Bulletin for years. I think it is one of the best. Good research, new items, lots of print and in smaller print for such a few pages. [Always a new research book offered for sale and are they ever helpful and great priced.] So it is chucked full of good research and wonderful facts for us researchers or just interesting reading about history in the area. I take a number of quarter publications from other Gen/Hist Societies and you should see what they put out, big copies, full page, no write ups, family charts and old poems ca genealogy, that we have all read a million time....it is just filling the pages, no help. And no one can beat the asking price of being a member and the Bulletin. It is my second favorite one, Guilford Co., NC is my first! My grandfather Robert E. Allstott was born there in 1875, his family are the Kimmons, Love, McCray and many side-kicks! Thank you Ross, you help so many.....
