Hi All: I think Sylvia's idea is marvelous. The thought had crossed my mind to try and put all the Cemetery listings in one file, by appending them all together, and be able to pull it into a word processor and then let the computer do the work searching for a given surname. But putting them in a database takes this to another level. One cannot imagine how handy this is until you experience how easy it is to find what you want after sorting the database in whatever way suits you at the time. I have put the first 35 years of Marshall County marriages in a database and it has been very helpful to me. I have on my list of things to do, the job of getting this database ready to share with the web page. I would also like to add the years 1870 to 1900 to this database, but I do not have a hard copy of this info yet. One of the reasons this marriage database is so handy is because it has book #, page#, groom & bride's names, place of birth, age, parents names, when that info is listed in the original records. One can sort this database on any of these fields and find what you need. Vernon Anderson
