My next shot will be to write to the town/library Historian. >> Hi Sue, I called the town historian right after she had retired and we had quite a nice talk. She said that she didn't mind helping people find information, but she was tired of doing it for nothing, that she felt that they could pay her something. I sent her a check for $25.00 and my gggrandfather's info (that I had on him) and that was the last I ever heard of her. I sent her another letter about 6 months later and told her that if she wasn't going to help me, to please send my check back and again I have heard nothing but "silence." After several attempts, I finally gave up on her. mary
