Sonya, I'll look for you, but I'm working long hours today and tomorrow, so it'll be later this week before I can. BTW, if you or anyone is wanting to purchase the 1900 Polk County Census, send a check for $27.00 to PCHGS / POB. 636 / Benton, TN 37307 with a note asking for that particular Census to be mailed to you. If you're going there in person, you can pick it up a bit cheaper (since they wouldn't have to mail it to you). To find where the PCHGS is located to visit in person, write to Marian Presswood: <presswood@wingnet.net> and she'll be happy to let you know the location and hours.
