Karen and all - this list certainly has been more active lately. If I wasn't one of the look up volunteers I might think you all cooked this up just to advertise your fine publications. Approximately five people asked for information and I don't think I really made anyone's day with the tidbits they received. However, we all know that it is these "tidbits" that keep us going. After all, who is going to make purchases after he or she has given up the search? These books contain maps, cemetery and township histories and much more. We all know that a "lookup" is no substitute for actually owning the book. These books are well worth the money and the best advertisement is a satisfied customer. Regards, Lori (p. s. - I think we should get off this subject - is anyone searching Collins?)
