Seekers: The following website is useful for locating "out of the way" places, with those "strange sounding names", like 'runs', 'licks', etc.: http://www.topozone.com/find.asp Just follow the instructions: locate the map you want and then center it. Then pop it up to 1:25,000. You will see just about everything, EXACT location of the cemeteries and so on. All maps are 'printable'. You can use it for other purposes, of course, but I was impressed with the quickness of the website, and the ease of using it. Another Suggestion: when 'stuck' on a surname, suggest you use a search engine - just plug in the surname and you should get some choices to surf. I particularly like the following: http://www.alltheweb.com/ http://www.askjeeves.com/ Have a great week-end! Good hunting - good luck! shirley: bobert@panacom
