Linda,

We received this information from our library tech and I thought I'd pass it along to the list. I'm at work and do not have the e-mail address for the list here. Could you please forward this on to them so that everyone can take advantage of this opportunity? I haven't investigated the site thoroughly yet, but I did discover at least one database that we might find useful. On their main page is a History, Biography and Literature section. Click on it and the next page that comes up has a database titled Biography and Genealogy Master Index. I received over 900 hits on the one surname I am researching. You can mark and save the ones that you are interested in viewing or you can see and print the descriptions as you go.

Thanks so much. --- Sandy
