To everyone who was asking questions about Lipan: When I was at Lipan school 1986-1989, the school library had a book on the history of Lipan that mentioned many of the families and had many pictures in it. I looked through in several times as I have an interest in family history. This book might answer many of your questions. I do not remember the title of it, but the book was old. You might call and see if they still have it. -----Original Message----- From: edmonds [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 13, 2003 1:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ERATH] Lipan Kathy, A reference to C.
