Since posting to the list yesterday I have found that if I simply type the county names in the title field and nothing else, I do get some results. My mistake was also typing in the word "history into the "other words" field. And while I'm at it, my primary interest in Franklin County is the fact that my gggrandfather is supposed to have been born there. His name was Daniel Lee AIKEN & his father's name was Calvin. Also, his mother was Susan DEBOW. I know where he spent most of his adult life but haven't been able to verify a birth place for him.
