I will try to get to Fulton and look at it. Is it in the Times officc? I wish I had know about this the other day when I was there researching. Are they any Adams and Lowerys in it? Marjorie Adams Cummings >> Yes, I have a copy. Was sent to me as a gift about three years ago. My is in about six pieces now as I had read it so much. First thing people are to known, is if a name is given, the book only shows Adams on pages 29, 119, 163, 192, 195. Now you have to read all them 5 pages just looking for the surname. Copy of the book is at the Library for you to read. Now if people would just stop saying that they are looking for all and then just list a long list of surnames which means very little to me. Start by making up there own family history pages for what they know and post them here. We would have something like our own New family book which is now long overdo. Until then I am going to stop helping. First thing is to search the posted information or find them in the census, land records, marriage records, etc.. If not there, there is no information. Next add information that they already known. Like I have spend days looking for people in cemetery records and then find that they had moved the whole family to Arkansas in 1870 and the people know that all along. I am looking for one name and next to them are brothers & sisters but I do not known that. Or do just one name at a time and I have everyone else in the family but just that one person who had moved away. Next is the people who talk one on one and then never come back to post a update list to this site. Now all that work is lost and now just a few people have it. The next one in the family to ask for the same information has to start all over. Now some of this is slowly changing as people now known you can have more then just two lines to ask about your family on the Internet. I will wait until they first tell all the known about someone and then ask there question. Until later Don
