Our cousin Alta Kaessinger had a membership in the Coles County, Illinois genealogy society for many years, and she saved all their newsletters. I want to go through them to see if I can find any Reed or Sherman-related information. Of course, I could take a short cut and just look this up on PERSI, the Periodical Source Index for genealogy publications, but I would get a better sense of place if I read the newsletters.\n<\/p>\n<p>So, I have big plans, just not big amounts of time.
