There is a plan........... Permission was given by the son of Phyllis to use the books any way we wish on the web site. We do not have permission to republish her works and sell more books They can however be used on this web site if we wished to go thru a huge volunteer effort big enough to type them all up again as they were never in a computer. That would be a very big job and another approach is being taken to make them available in another way to searchers. The plan is to type up only the index using volunteers. That is not a small project and will require a bunch of volunteers. We need to start looking for volunteers now. There is about 360 pages of index with 3 columns of info on each page. This index will be posted on the web site and those how find obits listed for their relatives can contact Cindy at the La Plata library (see the LOOKUP PAGE). She plans to make copies available for a 50 cent charge per page plus postage (minimum charge of a dollar). This will take several months and it would be great if those interested in these books would wait till the index is available. If there turns out to be hundreds of people wanting Cindy to look up their relatives now before we can look them up on the web site ourselves, it may be a very big job just for her to go thru all 4 volumes for each name. After the index is available, the requestor will be able to tell Cindy the volume and page number, making it pretty easy for her to find them. Patience is requested as this is a big job and worth a lot to researchers. WANT TO VOLUNTEER?? Ernie CC MOMACON
