Randy, Try visiting your nearest branch Family History library and
looking at the SURNAME file. This collection covers 97,000 books
of family genealogies. Also check the Family Registry to see if
the name appears in that collection. If the FHL does have the book,
you may have the book copied and sent to you. They will not charge
you for the copying - only charge you to have it sent to the nearest
library for you to use. Good luck! Betty.
