Jan.
Was there a few years back looking for my WOODS family line, I think the
office is on the first floor, They were indeed very helpful to my sister and
I . We had both come to Mo from other states , me from Ca and her from Mn.
Had the best time talking to farmers trying to find our way to the WOODSLAND
CEMT. Had one farmer ask me if my family was from Mt Vernon then why do we
both not live in Mo where we belong...What could I say but that I come home
often for a visit...
