When my father and I first went there in 1984, he was able to put us in touch with many distant Bibbee, Parsons, Blake and Coe cousins and found numerous records that were very important in our search for Jackson County ancestors. I have never met anyone who was more dedicated to helping others. All of this inspite of the fact that he was confined to a wheel chair.
