Well, get in the habit of putting the county name on every bit of correspondence now, email or no, save you some stamps, when you start sending off to courthouses in the wrong county. I don't memorize any counties but my own, really. I did not even know what county GUTHRIE was in, but could drive to the town in a heartbeat. Sometimes I will know a county right off by the name of the city, because a tornado has wiped that town off the map a few times, and the tornado warnings are done by county....On bad days I still have to look up my own when I get to a little dinky town my folks stopped off at and had a one kid in and mosied on down the pike.... And we shall see what we shall find along the little genealogical rabbit trails...8) Nalora
