Hi Folks, Once again the list has been spammed with numerous genealogical disks that one can buy. Well, the truth of the matter is these books are all FREE and SEARCHABLE online on Google books, or Making of America, or Library of Congress, or even other sites. And most of them are downloadable should you wish to keep a hardcopy on disk or paper. I've notified all the lists that I'm on as soon as this came in. With the economy the way it is we don't need to waste our precious money on things that are available for FREE! Anytime disks are being sold, do a google search and see what you get. There's very little that's in the public domain that isn't available FREE someplace today. :-) Merry Xmas, Linda Trent 1850 Indiana Gazetteer or Topographical Dictionary of the State of Indiana http://books.google.com/books?id=GxYVAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA3 Indiana: in Relation to its Geography, Statistics, Institutions, County Topography, Etc.; with a Reference Index to and Colton's Maps of Indiana, 1852 http://books.google.com/books?id=hYkUAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA1 Gazetteer of the St. Joseph Valley, Michigan and Indiana, with a view of its hydraulic and business capacities http://books.google.com/books?id=Eo8UtL7TXysC&pg=PA6 Geo.

This book is listed on Google books, but when you go to the site it is actually a book about Boston, so it's been mislabeled. However, it is available through the Library of Congress site at http://memory.loc.gov/learn/features/timeline/riseind/immgnts/minn.html (click on view entire document) Iowa as it is in 1855, a Gazetteer for Citizens and a Handbook for Immigrants... This book is a bit more difficult to view, though if you skim down the page you'll come to readable text. http://www.archive.org/stream/iowaasitisin185500park/iowaasitisin185500park_djvu.txt http://www.archive.org/stream/iowaasitisin185500park/iowaasitisin185500park_djvu.txt
