USGenWeb Archives Project: > http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/tx/ncentral.htm It looks like it came out of a book. That is my guess. Let's leave it until we get a complaint from Mr. Holder's daughter. It is really not worth fighting over. I can't believe somebody would complain about something so insignificant.

Dear Gene, I can relate to what you are saying! I had a local librarian tell me that she would get a request for a look up on a name and she would give the query over to the local genealogical society that used the library as a free repository. After a time she got angry letters from people complaining that they received phone calls from one of the members of the genealogy society demaning money for doing the lookup that they gave to the librarian. So as a result of this, the librarian decided to stop using the local genealogy society and started directing people to the Texas GenWeb county site through the library internet connection for help as it was free, and she wanted nothing to do with a society that utilized free facilities in order to make money on lookups. Recently, I went to a county courthouse and requested info about one of my cousins that had passed some years ago, the courthouse then attempted to charge me money to look up the date of death. Just the lookup, not the certificate! I then told them not to bother as I was only attempting to confirm a date that the State of Texas had already offered on-line for free and I would not pay them for information that the state would not charge me for. They about had a fit! Your right! A lot of this stuff is about money -Darren
