The Boston Public Library has an extensive collection of genealogy books, and a great card catalogue index. If you call (617) 536-2321 and ask for the reference department, they will look up whether they have any of those "can't be found anywhere" books. You would be amazed at the number of genealogies written in the 19th century that they have! _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
