I received this from another list and thought it might be helpful to some on this list. Whcih brings to mind another way to find information if to subscribe to list in the area of your ancestor. That are state list, County list, also a variety of lists that you should take a look at and decide which would suit you best. You can receive info from many different sources. The archives of each list holds many postings and also many documents etc. So post to all the lists to find your ancestors. I have found there are many knowledgeable researchers on almost all list that are willing to help. I will admit there are some that only want info and don't want to give out but the nice ones far out weigh the ones that won't share. Please respond to the lady who sent this in. Thank you.
