Max and others: Noted in one of your postings that you mention a book "A Tale of Old Newport". Is this available in a library back there? What period of time does it cover? I need 1890 on. Also I found on Ancestry.com a Newport directory for 1892, but are there other years after that available anywhere? Living in Washington state puts a crimp in being able to go to libraries and visit the area where my relatives, Edes, were raised. Any assistance will be very much appreciated. Paulette Waggoner

Paulette, I have a 1940 Newport City Directory. What would you like looked up? That "Tales of Old Newport" is often for sale on Ebay. I am in Washington State, too. Near Puyallup. It is not easy to find East Coast books to research here....but, the Internet has been grand.

Paulette, "A Tale of Old Newport" is an article written by Andrews Moriarty that was published in a genealogy publication. I made a photo copy of the article, but I did not record the publication in which the article was printed. The article is about my ancestor Herodias (Long( Hicks-Gardiner-Porter. I live in Arizona and we found the article in a local genealogy library--prababy at the State Capitol. The local Family History Centers that the LDS Church has allows you to view mircrofilms of a lot of genealogy material. If you do not know about them, let me know and I can find out where the one that is nearest you is located. Best regards, Max
