Don, We do not have a research staff as such. I some times look up stuff if I have the books handy and don't have to leave the house. Others will do research for a small fee. The court house the library and the Laf Co Historical Museum are a 100 yards apart so it easy to do research here in Darlington. The people in the court house are very helpful and I am told we have better records than most. They are open all day where the library is open 1-8 most days and musuem is open 1-4 in the afternoons every day. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Johns" <donfromwi@webtv.net> To: <WILAFAYE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, June 02, 2001 12:45 AM Subject: Re: [WILAFAYE] 1880 Census lookups > Jim, > Thanks much for info on Richard Johns.He is my ggrandfather.
