Phyllis, What a kind person your are. I would suggest contacting the following address: Platte County Historical Society P.O. Box 103 Platte City, MO 64079 I submitted group sheets for my Platte County families several years ago, and they were placed in the historical society's library. I'm sure the historical society would find these notebooks of value even if the gentleman's daughter doesn't.
