Several people have asked about PERSI. I thought I'd post this to the list to explain. PERSI stands for PERiodocal Source Index. I found it at http://www.ancestry.com . The name of the site is Ancestry. It has 226 searchable databases. 3 of them are free (SSDI, World Tree, I can't remember the other name) . All of the databases are free right now until Jan. 1. It is a 7 day trial thing. PERSI lists the articles on a subject that you give it. I put in Wooten and got the list I posted. It will give you the name of the article, the name of the publication, the volume it is in. If you click on the name of the publication, it will tell you the address of the genealogical society that publishes it, where known copies are. I would suggest asking at your local FHC for copies of the publications. Joan Wooten -
