Sorry to be so long responding. Rough couple of months. I checked the Allen County (Indiana) Public Library's website, and they do indeed have a copy of "A Genealogy of the Bear Family and Biographical Record of the Descendants of Jacob Bear" by Walter Scott Bear, 1906, Central Printing & Publishing Company, Harrisburg, Pa. It's call number is 929.2 B3808B. They also have a microfiche copy -- G-843 -- in their Genealogy and Local History Collection. The library is currently closed for remodeling, so I don't know if it's possible to view this now or not. I don't think they loan out books in their genealogy collection, but you might check about the microfiche. Good luck.

When the Fort Wayne library re-opens its genealogy division in its temporary location, (2-3 years), ALL the books will be browse-able. This will be a wonderful opportunity, as the books at Fort Wayne have always been back in the stacks and brought out at patron request. Sometimes microfiche can be ordered through inter-library loan. Have you checked to see if this microfiche is available through an LDS library? Sharon Mills At 03:39 PM 1/20/2003 -0500, you wrote: >Sorry to be so long responding.
