project White County,

Included are weekly genealogy columns from the CARMI TIMES,
queries,
a short history, and look-up information. Almost every US county has a
page somewhere on the internet. The best part of these pages is the
ability
of genealogists to make contact with each other, which only happens if
you leave a query.
Here is the page for our
neighbor
