Hi Janet, and list! Just got back from Elkhart Co., on family history search. Elkhart Library hours now are 9am to 9pm, but if you are calling, it must be between 9am and 5pm, office hours. Sat. hours may be different, not sure on that. The hours posted on the door, are not correct. I do agree that they are very helpful and do have a good genealogy selection. Good luck! ______________________________X-Message: #2 Date: Thu, 15 Jul 1999 09:58:04 -0700 From: "Ron McConnell" To: INELKHAR-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <00f301becee3$403b9fe0$ec84490c@calcano> Subject: [INELKHAR-L] 76th Annual Gathering Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit We are announcing the 76th Annual McCONNELL* Reunion to be held in August 8, 1999.
