Hi List,
In two weeks, my dad and I will be going to the Allen County Public Libary in Ft. Wayne,
IN - the second largest place for genealogy records in the U.S. Just to let you know I
will take requests to do a lookup for either census, death index, birth index, or marriage
index. I will, however, request a contribution to defray costs of copies and postage.
Please include the county and state; I am on more than one mailing list. Thanks.
Monica
