These notes are available on the Wagners' (Gene and Leatrice) web page with the added provision that for each set of 25 notes there is an index of names for that set. Start on http://www.inficad.com/~genelea/ and follow through to the genealogy section. I believe the notes read the same as those on Sgt. George's web page since they came from there indirectly.
This may be a good time to remind readers that these notes are copyrighted material of which I am the owner of the copyright. Use them in your personal research freely, but they may not be incorporated without my permission in items, print or electronic, intended for distribution.
Earlier, I had mentioned that the Before Germanna booklets, twelve in total, would be available in electronic form which I had understood to be a disk. At the time I mentioned their availability in this form, I was expecting them to be forthcoming very shortly. The research for these was done by Johni Cerny and Gary Zimmerman (now deceased) at Lineages. I have heard from Teresa M. Barker that there has been a delay in the release of this material due to problems with the software. If I hear something positive, I will mention it here. Or you can follow through with Lineages at these addresses:

Rootsweb, the provider of this list service and 2,299 other lists, has sent some interesting statistics to members. From last September to December, there was a 55% growth. The numbers that they are dealing with are frightening. In December, they sent about 90,000,000 pieces of mail. They now have four T1 lines to interface to the Internet. Each of these lines can carry 1,500,000 bits of information per second, or, they are approaching one million characters of information per second. Remember that RootsWeb is only a hobby and hobbies like this can get to be expensive fast. Contributions to help out are very much appreciated. About every quarter, I send something to them. I invite you to do the same. Here is an address for your envelope:
