[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Prairie Rose Country- Canada

[Gary Warner]

Van,

Thank you for offering to do lookups in the book that you have.  The best 
way to get some inquiries is to post a list of the names in the 
book.  Since you are an SGGEE member, we would appreciate it if you could 
give us a copy of the index of names, and the complete title of the book, 
along with a description of the the place this book covers (i.e., something 
like "26 miles northeast of Bremerton, Washington").  We will then include 
that data in our current database of similar material.  If you can get with 
me one on one, I will tell you where to send the data.  Also, if you can 
scan and OCR, or just type in the names, that would also be a big plus, 
since it will save me from doing the same.
