Walt,
Thanks for sharing the memories of your trip. It is fascinating reading. I hopefully will make use of it. I need to go back and take a look at some of these smaller communities. The problem is the time line. What I am referring to is the available data takes a nose dive because the 1890 census data was damaged in a fire. I have read that there are efforts to reconstruct the records.
Robert,
In answer to your question. Thank you very much for offering to share with me. I have always held a strong belief that information, especially historical information, should be made widely available. To that end, if you would not mind, please share the information here on doublegunshop. I know there others, more skilled than myself, who could make good use of it. Someday, perhaps a GNU like public copyright should be written for such information.
Drew,
Always a treasure house of information!!
Pete
