A little over a year ago, I stopped in at the Morgan County Library (a
beautiful old building, by the way!). I only had about 30 minutes to spare, but had
to see what I could find. It was very well organized, and the librarian on
duty was very courteous and helpful. Just having the information there and
organized is a Godsend to most genealogists! We shouldn't assume that anyone owes us
a thing, since we are not taxpayers in Morgan County, and are not helping to
organize or to financially support the library. I get upset when people
criticize the facilities in Morgan County or wherever genealogy departments are
frequently used. Just imagine yourself, volunteering your time or working for
little pay, to organize and track family information for someone who comes in
demanding to see the records for their family...and requests come day after day
after day! Yet they are willing to happily help travelers who will take the
information and never be heard from again. Hopefully, most of us tell them "Thank
You" as we head out the door!!!
