It is believed that George F. Garrett was the son of [George] Wash Garrett and the brother of my ancestor, John Joseph (J.J.) Garrett.
History is constantly in the making; the task of the chronicler, confronted with the ever increasing bulk of material, becomes one of abbreviation and elimination. How few names, how few periods, how few events, go to make up what the world ultimately sees fit to keep at the finger-tips of memory. (MI Pioneer and Historical Collections, 1907). An effort to catch bits & pieces of history slipping from the "finger-tips of memory."

Don't you just love those kind and responsive librarians! And quite often they tell me things that I dinna even know to ask!
Hi Joan,
Just did a post on my "Relatively Fiction" blog urging people to ask a librarian for help. http://relativelyfiction.blogspot.com/2009/12/ask-librarian-see-what-happens.html
Yes I do love those librarians!
