Chris,
Thank you for the reply. I WILL get back to you via direct email for the specific information you talked about.
I am equally interested in your "efforts". You sound experienced in working with "information owners". How are the people at the church to work with? Some I've bumped into won't share the time of day. I have a lot of relatives to research that have roots in that general area... have you been to the courthouse or library for anything?
Any tips, tricks, hints, or suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated.
I am posting this opposed to an personal email... well, because, that is the spirit of this site, isn't it... to SHARE what we've learned.
I will get back to you VERY soon.
