ok i realize now i need to update our policy on books many of the books are limited editions and thus are not being sold except to family members or relatives and i doubt they make a profit and if they do so be it! So if you have a family book that relates to Smith County we will allow those from now on .... i will monitor messages for big book sales like amazon.com etc.... though a mention of these books will be ok.... As we are a free service we should not exclude books that may help our researchers.... BUT PLEASE KEEP QUERIES about the books off the list as much as possible..... PLEASE look at the TO: in your mail program before you send.... Happy Hunting Charlie list administrator
