Wow, no sooner do I ask, I receive! Thanks Susan.
ReplyDeleteKevin, my "county resource" pages will be an ongoing thing, so if you come across links to add, please email me or leave a note in the Comments section!
ReplyDeleteSusan, I'll remember. I am bookmarking the page.
ReplyDeleteI have been here researching on these links for several hours. I have already found two sources I didn't already have for two different g-grandfathers. Plus there is much more still to go.
I'm so happy to hear that you found some information on your great grandfathers, Kevin! I'm glad I was able to help.
