[Sue Steward]

You say you are finding library ILL very useful -- what is library ILL, is that something in Illinois?

  The ancestry.com library edition we have at my local library of Cedar Mills, OR has census records, birth, marriage, and many other vital records, as well as trees and messageboards (but can't interact with these boards) - many fine pieces of information, but not some of the features I saw and used that big "free" weekend - I wish I could afford to have it at home, but can't at this time. I can certainly value the service over having to travel all over the country, but I am finding library ILL very useful and as one gets better at the query process, the answers seem to become more complete. A great and helpful book for searching is The Genealogist's Companion, from which I have learned a lot about how to search and research. And I love the wonderful volunteers of Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness in various states. They are the best at helping, and explaining searches, etc. that I have run into (this group is great, too!) and one can make smal and/or regular donations to them for their kind assistance.
