thank you.............I just searched and my ancestors are not in the book, so I saved some money......... -----Original Message----- From: Linda Trent <lindatrent@zoomnet.net> To: ohlawren@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, 31 Aug 2008 1:03 pm Subject: Re: [OHLAWREN] Ohio Research Material Review A message just came in about the Ohio State Gazetteer 1860-61, now being digitally reproduced on CD and an introductory price of $49.95. I just wanted to make mention before people pay the $50.00 for this that the book is available as e-text FREE of charge on the University of Michigan's Making of America site, at http://tinyurl.com/5e4dxq that is a direct link to the search function for the Gazetteer. The entire book is online there, and is entirely searchable by key words. Dunno, about everyone else, but the hobby's expensive enough without having to pay to view things on the computer that we can view for free on the same box. :-) Also, just to let everyone know, don't forget when doing research to check Google Books, another free source. http://books.google.com/advanced_book_search The link I provided will take you to an advanced search where you can search by keyword, and even limit it to 18xx-18xx, or whatever year you want. You can also search by author, title, etc. A great source for doing historic research, or genealogy. Just thought I'd help some folks save a little money. :-) Linda Trent lindatrent@zoomnet.net ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to OHLAWREN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
