A suggestion. Instead of duplicating what others have already done (ie
copying or duplicating the work of others), why don't all of us search for
the unfound and unrecorded records. I just received a very large package of
material in the mail this morning from a woman who has dug out at least 100
pages of court records of totally new material that even I did not have
after my 35 years of hunting! Richard & Hal, you are going to love this
package if it proves what I think it will!
Just an idea!
