Hi Tim - just read your posting ref the Ristons .... I'm interested in
the publications you reference. did you see them at Lloyd House in alex
or do you have them all? I was there a few days ago and saw some of
them but not all. Also, did you have an index of the Gazette Obits?
The fiche of the news paper about broke my neck! Would love to see the
obituaries indexed and if there is one somewhere would love to see it.

Thanks a lot,

Nita Jones,
