Hi Bobbie Lou,
About the McGuire abstracts - as far as I know, the abstracts were were transcribed by Donald H. and Donna L. McGuire from Morgan County. I believe they are both still living. They took the microfilm from the Morgan County, Indiana newspapers and pulled birth, death, and marriage information from each page. They typed all the info, indexed it, and bound them and gave them to the library to be used by fellow genealogists for research purposes. They have only been available at the library for a very short time - just a few months. It is my understanding that these resources are not copyrighted material. I could not find an order form or phone number to call to see if these are available for sale. I will do some more checking and let everyone know. I do want everyone to know that this are just SUMMARIES or abstracts of the actual newspaper article. While Renee is typing the summaries word-for-word, this is NOT word-for-word from the actual newspaper article. So, while!
this is an excellent resource tool, you will want to make a copy from the microfilm of the original source.
Hope this helps,
Lisa Shireman
