    3. I am researching my husband's family. We are planning a trip to Lebanon shortly and I do not know what resources are available. If anyone can tell me what kinds of records and what location would be very helpful. Thanks, Cathy Contris

    3. Cathy, Your best bet is the Lebanon County Historical Society. Visit their site for days & hours: <http://www.lebanonhistory.org> Their volunteers are extremely helpful. A few blocks away, on South 8th St., is the County Courthouse. They are open weekdays from 8:30 - 4:30, except holidays. The Historical Society can direct you to most other places you may want to visit (i.e. churches, cemeteries, etc.) I'm also curious about your McNAIR. My great-great grandmother was Almira McNAIR, daughter of Samuel (b 1819, Scotland) & Dorothy (b 1822, Scotland.) Almira was born 1849 in New Jersey & died in 1915, no doubt in the Middletown NY area. Her brothers were William b 1851 New Jersey & Robert b 1853 NJ. -Linnea At 2:51 PM -0400 4/25/03, Cathy wrote: >I am researching my husband's family.

    3. Linnea, Great to hear from you! I have information about the McNair line, but none of it is verified. That is another reason that we want to visit Lebanon. My husband's great great grandmother was Sarah McNair. She was married to Charles Contris in Salem Evangelical Church in Lebanon in 1850. Supposedly Sarah was the daughter of Samuel McNair and Anna Groff. I really want to get the McNair line down with some solid information while I am there. I am hoping to find some kind of birth information on Sarah somewhere, but don't know where. Thanks again for all the help. If you come up with anything on Sarah, please let me know, and I will do the same.
