Before the internet, and at the timeframe you are referring to (1971), GH was primarily a listing of queries. Hard to imagine, but it was one of the few ways researchers could find each other! Each issue might contain one or two general "how-to-do-genealogy" articles, but listing queries was its main function. There were also many ads for books, research services, paper forms such as Family Group Sheets, etc. The entry you found indexed was probably a researcher looking for information about the Silsens. Your best bet on finding old copies of GH would be the Allen County Library or the LDS Library in Salt Lake. GH is still being issued, although in a revised format.

I haven't read all your messages but I live only 9 miles from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, I am going there tomorrow and will do a quick look-up if you need it. I have a full day of reading microfilm and looking through more York Co. books. I am originally from York and try to keep up on any of the books the FHL has.

There is supposed to be something on page 319 of this book according to google books. The surnames are Jacob Silsen married to Lena Leitner.?? Or any John Adam Leitner pages if there is an index to him would be quite helpful It sounds like these periodicals were put together in a book form because how could a periodical go up to page 319. Thanks so much.
