I discovered Frank Murray many years ago on this list. Before that time, I invested thousands of dollars in books for my county of research. My local libraries here in Florida had about four books each for my research. I have used Frank's services many times and have posted his message to a list I manage for Shenandoah County and have also put a page for Frank's services on my web site. http://www.rootsweb.com/~vashenan/frank_murray.html The counter shows 194 hits since March 31, 2003. Before finding Frank, the list members were constantly asking for someone to do research for them at LVA. I think all list managers should be proud to boast of having someone who will do research for others....whether for free or for pay. Frank, please feel free to post on my list anytime. I hope the decision to not allow these types of postings is reconsidered for the benefit of many.
