However, the genealogy department at the New Castle Public Library is outstanding! I thought I had the url for the library but am unable to locate it. http://www.ccia.com/~rharvey/lawrence.htm will at least get you the hours and addresses of several helpful organizations as well as a general map of the surrounding area. Too bad you are leaving so early - my husband and I are going back mid-September and I could check it out for you but it looks as if you will be there first. Good luck!
