<DIV><FONT size=2>For those of you who have census, etc. access trhough your
library services--terrific! I live outside the limits of Salem and
therefore would have to pay $60 per year for 1 person. There isn't a
county service for Marion.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>So I subscribe to an online service. But one must give
credit where credit is due. Volunteers who have kindly looked up
information that I do not have access to have been the greatest service. I
have found that (This is my finding remember) those with Ancestry.com seem to
respond to the message boards with help more then the genelaogy.com message
boards. I don't know why. The best response from a volunteer has to
be the man from Germany that saw my Ancestry.com message board query about my
father's family of BATZNER. Not only did he have the information from the
printed church records, but he sent me page after page after page free of
charge...about 100 total. Now my BATZNER family goes back 5 more
generations, 10 within certain lines.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I'll say it before and I'll say it again---I'd be up my
family tree without a ladder if it wasn't for the kind volunteers I have
encountered...and that goes for the kind folks in this group who have responded
to my "help me" pleas. This is one of the reasons for my earlier post this
week about lookups. I try to give back what I am given.</FONT></DIV>
