If you can find the Christmas Tree Shop and go past fast food restaurants like McD and Wendy's it would be about a mile on your right in a little shopping mall. I belong to alittle Compton and Portsmouth Historical Societies and I know Mr. Hall. Pres. of PHS would probably have some good books but when I've looked they were out of print, probably in libraries. When you go to Newport go to the Newport Historical Society Library, they have an excellent librarian, Bert Lippincott, and collection. ----- Original Message ----- From: "CAROLYN SCHWAB" <piermonarchs@verizon.net> To: <rigenweb@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 6:42 AM Subject: Re: [RI] Book on Portsmouth > You must be a cousin.
