Dear Jim, Hello, thank you for your kind words of encouragement. I am so glad my postings have helped you, that was my intention to help others. I know that there is a wealth of genealogy information contained in this little local newspaper I am posting from and it was just sitting there in the library on microfilm. I thought it was time some of it got out there into the genealogy world!!
