Hi, BETTY ~ Unfortunately for them, libraries are swamped with genealogical requests these days (it's one of today's major "hobbies"), so you may not get a response for several weeks, especially if you didn't give enough information in your e-mail request. Some of the big libraries have genealogy/history departments and it STILL takes a lot time for them to work their way down to your message in their bulging in-basket and search it to their satisfaction (they, too, may send out requests of their own to other places that might help them to better answer your question). I've been through this, too; be patient. Did you call during library hours or did you leave a message? If you didn't speak to a people, try calling during their open hours so you'll get a good idea of the request procedure and time involved. Although genealogy demand has increased, rarely has library staffing. Libraries just aren't a priority these days. Sigh! If they do any searching for you, they would probably appreciate a few bucks in donation. This is one of the main reasons that genealogy is so expensive - sadly, repositories can't run on air and warm wishes. Best of luck to you and the Livingston County Library, Julia "----Original Message Follows---- From: "betty schallhorn" <behorn@sympatico.ca> Hello Myron, thank you very much for your suggestion reg. the Library in Livingston Mo. I e-mailed for help, that did not work, so today I called and I e-mailed again and hopefully this time I get a response. Will let you know.
