Hello all,
I would like this search to happen but financially I can not help at this
time so, I can donate what ever time I can to helping with this. I can be
part of the "board" or looking through records. I have not checked to see
if Cincinnti (Ohio) 's library has interlibrary loan, I do know that they
wont send info from main lib to other branches of Hamilton County libs. But
I am willing to help, please let me know what I can do!
