"Ancient Faces"
This was a project unique to the MOGenWeb. I have found this type of information on other County Pages.
However, the format used for the construction of the pages does not lend it self to clean-up very well.
Additionally, since the contributions are, for the most part well over 10 years old, the contact email addies are invalid.
The Old RW File is here, Static and the email links are invalid. It is being included here because
there are some nice photos.
