Over the years, a large number of folks have written/e-mailed/called/ and personally appeared seeking help with their tree climbing. Since the blogs have reached over 80,000 page views, it has become increasing difficult to keep tract of all the incoming request. A resent blog on my genealogical research collection [ tjgresearchnotebooks.blogspot.com ] has generated some interest. On this blog site you can "search" the notebooks for particular subjects/topics which may provide some help in brick wall destruction.
The figure above shows a sample page from this blog and identifies the "Search This Blog" tag where you can enter a subject/topic. A research notebook may contain an item of interest, and the subject/topic can be examined. [ A Lookup !]
The notebooks are physically located in The Joseph Wheeler Jones Memorial Library, Danville, KY. As pictured above, they are regular sized notebooks, numbered and organized by topics. [Now over 250 of them!] A "lookup" involves my direct selection and review of content. It has become necessary to try and establish some order to this process.
A request will need to be done by direct mail. Please send your question with a self addressed, stamped envelope to The Jones Genealogist, 243 N. Third St., Danville, KY 40422. A $10 lookup fee needs to be included. Only one question per envelope. This fee will cover cost of copies, paper, ink, and indicate a sincere interest in seeking the information.
Brick wall destruction...a lookup may help.
