THEN I looked closely at how you prepared the search keyword. Ahhh. Taking note I immediately applied the suggestion: "John P Minor" + cattle. Bingo. I had new information. Great suggestions written in a friendly manner. Also want to get Dan Lynch's book now!Kay Stricklandhttp://dkaysdays.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072746418854500230.post-58775462955481276142011-01-27T10:25:38.506-08:002011-01-27T10:25:38.506-08:00Great tips, Wendy!

I think there is one section that is a bit out of date because Google has changed things, but even so, the book is worth its weight in gold. I had the very great pleasure of attending three of Dan's talks when he was in Australia recently, and the man is a genealogist's saviour!Judy Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02331380147873608965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072746418854500230.post-68538104963899700952011-01-25T11:20:32.574-08:002011-01-25T11:20:32.574-08:00Thanks, Dan.

Great blog post. Thanks! (It came to me via a Google Alert and i'm glad it did...).<br />Dan LynchDan Lynchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07864026668646779920noreply@blogger.com
