This is just a friendly note to you. I noticed your posting about
Marriage Index look-ups. I found it hard to pick out your surnames. I
always CAPITOLIZE them. Someone passed this along to me and I think it
helps to make the name jump out to the reader. I'm looking for
marriages and wives names too. So I read all postings. Good luck with
your searching.
