Ruth,
Thanks for the comment. I am fascinated by such a wonderful find as Family Search Labs! It has solved more than a few mysteries for me but has also led to a few more!
I wanted to comment on your follow up post to my question on posting the images but was unable to comment on your blog! I do want to thank you for your input on that subject also!
Happy Hunting!
Ken

Hi Ken!
I’m glad that you have been able to track down some of your folks in this database. It has been a great boost to my research. Several mysteries have been solved, and others created. For example, a first-cousin-twice-removed lady’s certificate states that she died a suicide, caused by arsenic poisoning. How, and better still why would you commit suicide is such a painful and slow fashion? Sounds a little fishy to me, although the deceased cousin’s father was a prominent member of the local law enforcement community at the time, so you’d think he would have picked up on that. Where is Ben Matlock when you need him?
Continued success with this database!
Ruth
