I Keep Looking For Me

I spoke to a "free"  lawyer on the phone.  (I pay a nice monthly fee for ARAG membership.  Free phone consultation, 25% discount on office visits).  Worth every penny. (Can you hear the sarcasm?  I think my problem stumped him, but I didn't get the impression that he much cared.   He did have one idea for me to pursue that I had not thought of - look for my birth announcement in the local paper.

Unfortunately, The Willits News - established in 1903 :) - only keeps their own papers for a year, certainly not 60+ years.

However, they think the old papers are on microfiche in the Willits Library.  Only a 4 hours drive.  While I try to figure out when I can do that during library hours, I emailed the friends of the library in case someone there can / will help with my search.

It sure goes easier on TV.

If I had time and a little money, I would really enjoy a trip to Willits.  And  I would like to ride The Skunk Train

  1. The people on tv are rich. I saw somewhere that getting a professional genealogist STARTS at $1500... And we don't know how much time it took to uncover the info they show. Keep working at it. Good luck!
