Linda - You mentioned that you were familiar w/ Hinshaw. Be sure to
read his introductions since they explain the terminology &
abbreviations very well. Also, make sure you also check out Willard
Heiss who, like Hinshaw, reproduced abstracts of many IN meetings.
There are 7 (6 or 7) volumes to his IN records. Right now, there are
two individuals (I can't remember their names) who are reprinting
Heiss's work and adding many more records to the book which Heiss
missed. One volume has just come out & I saw it at Swarthmore College
Friends Library in PA a few weeks ago. I am anxiously awaiting the
rest. Also, read films of many meetings made by the Mormom several
years ago when they travelled extensively photographing early records
from courthouses, churches, etc here and around the world. Many of
these appear no where else.

Good luck,
Nancy (in So California)
