Hi Everyone, I just received the nicest and most informative note from Raymond P. Fouts and wanted you to know too. I haven't visited this site in a looong time and am so glad that he sent this link: Hi Marianne, I published quite a few abstracts of some of the newspapers you mentioned, with full indexes. I retired in 1998, but Family Research Society of Northeastern North Carolina, in Elizabeth City, carries all my books now. You can read about them at: http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/Theatre/3818/ if you wish. Happy Hunting! Raymond P. Fouts
