Thank you for the links! The University of Missouri Digital Heritage Project has many historic books now. One nice thing is being able to download them as original images or as OCR-translated text (either is searchable but the text version tends to produce fewer falst hits caused by OCR software). http://digital.library.umsystem.edu/ Particularly useful is the Missouriana Collection, here: http://digital.library.umsystem.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?page=home;c=umlib I do like the search engine, which will allow proximity searches, boolean searches, and simple searches. Allows for a more refined set of results. -----Original Message----- >From: Tom Caulley <tcaulleysgenmail@yahoo.com> >Sent: Jul 27, 2010 8:32 PM >To: Cape Girardeau Cape Girardeau <MOCAPEGI@rootsweb.com>, Crawford Co Crawford Co <MOCRAWFO@rootsweb.com>, Iron Co MO <MOIRON@rootsweb.com>, Reynolds Co MO <MOREYNOL@rootsweb.com>, "St. Francois County" <MOSTFRAN@rootsweb.com>, "St. genevieve St. Genevieve" <MOSTEGEN@rootsweb.com>, "St. Louis St. Louis" <STLOUIS-MO@rootsweb.com>, Washington Co MO <MOWASHIN@rootsweb.com> >Subject: [MOSTEGEN] HISTORY OF SOUTHEAT MISSOURI > >I just found that THE HISTORY OF SOUTHEAST MISSOURI is available for free on the internet at > >http://books.google.com/books?id=G-AlAAAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=inauthor:Robert+inauthor:Sidney+inauthor:Douglass&hl=en&ei=j3lPTNXpHcL98Ab8i6m7AQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CC8Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false > >It is searchable > >Tom Caulley > >------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > >Check my genealogy web pages at: > >http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~caulleyfamilyinfo/MAINGEN.HTML (Links to my family tree, and 12 descendants' charts. > >http://www.caulleyscorner.com/LawrenceCoOH/ Lawrence Co.
