There is definitely a copy of this wonderful book at the Smith Co. Library in Carthage. I thoroughly enjoyed perusing this book and gladly paid to have pages xeroxed. I would so love to have my own and would wish we could gather enough interest to encourage the publishers to do a reprint, maybe even with family research updates. This book is in the Genealogy Room and is not on the check out availability.
