Hi Lee, I bought the book "Reference Book of Wyo. Co. History" by Mary Bowman. May I ask, does this book contain the 40% of Mr. Goode's notes and the other 60% are somewhere else or missing?? Since all my family back to 1850 came from Wyo. Co. --- I feel that I should explore every nook and cranny<BG>. I have been researching for 20 years and have Shorts, Shields, Bishops and a few more lines from the area. Thanks for any advice. Doug in Columbus, Ohio.
