[or-roots] Benton and Polk Resource Books

[Lee Gentemann]

I haven't seen any information anywhere, telling of these two great books, so I thought I'd pass the word along.

Shirley H. O'Neil, published both books, by starting with the people listed in the 1850 census for the given county, and researching each family, providing some great information that will likely save numerous family researchers some tedious work.  The books are fully indexed and even include documentation.
