Hi Judy: Thanks for this wonderful information. I've finally made a little headway on my William Hammond. My friend made a trip from Nevada to Altoona and went to BCGS Library and was able to get a newspaper notice of his death in the Hollidaysburg paper in November 1871!! I shall order the film from our FHL. Our genealogical society members are trying to help with a big indexing project that the LDS folks are doing. Thanks for all you have done for all of us far away from but interested in Blair County. I liked your explanation of your homesick feelings for the cool mountain air when it is hot and humid in Georgia. We have the lowest humidity in the country but in the summer when it is 115+ with 8% or less humidity, it is a "dry heat" as we console ourselves but it is still HOT. Many thanks, Judy.

Hi Edna, BCGS is doing us all a favor with the Huntingdon publications. HCHS doesn't seem to want to print anything. Guess they prefer having folks pay for research time, but that sure does get expensive for those of us who live far away. The FHC nearest me, which was closed for a while due to complete lack of volunteers to run the place, has reopened, and I guess I'll go up there and order some things I've been wanting to look at. I thought I'd get up to PA this fall, but as usual, my husband's work schedule interferes - he travels a lot, giving talks on medical ethics. I can't seem to find a week when he'll be home the whole week, darn it. Thanks for your kind words. I'm having fun getting material online.
