Yes Debbie is still there. I saw her this last week. She does do a lot of conferences around the country. So she is not always at the FHL. I can not think of Arturo's last name. I think he is still there also, but I have not seen him lately. I have been doing client research on the second and thir

I have gotten pretty efficient at researching American records and directories, but I am only the first generation born in the states. The marriage Index I referred to isn't through Tombo - I saw it's link in one of the posts here in this group. I just didn't know if there were other indices,
