Walter (and List): Interesting about the "iron ore" bank........you could send this information out to the list...someone may be able to utilize the information......... I have to be careful what I put out from the book as it's still copywrite protected.....there is tons of information in there that I would like to put out but not worth having Rootsweb sued and taken off the internet . I may take some information from another part of the book later. Walter, if you or anyone else has information on towns and counties of these 3 list(below) that others will be interested in ....please do post the subjects to the 3 list I manage: (be sure to list the source!)
