This book is a great resource for family members and I would love to reunite it with a person who can appreciate it for what it's worth. It was written by Mort & Isabel Turnbull.
I picked it up for 25 cents at a garage sale and would like to send it, (free of charge), to someone who is either a family member or a researcher.
If you would like this book or would like see if your family may be in it please let me know and I would be happy to look.
