I have always loved going to the library. Even as a child I could spend almost all day there going thru all the interesting books and old newspapers. The libraries most always have a genealogy room. In the genealogy rooms you can find many books on different counties and states,as well as mico filmed census records,death and cemetery listing. Plan on trying to go over a few days period to try to get any leadway at all because just one day wouldn't be enough time to really find much as it does take hours looking. The librarian will be more than glad to assist you in what ever you may need to find.
