Hey Jordongirl,
THANKS so much for posting this. I tried it and on my first try - I found out something about one of my ancestors that I didn't know.
I typed "Becton" into the slot where it says "Search All" - this searches not only for your surnames - but the entire texts of all of the books -- I found something on Samuel Slade Becton - brother of my 4th great grandfather - on pg 169 - in a book from a totally unrelated family - the Tompkins.
Here is a copy of the paragraph below.
Looks like this resource may be worth hanging out for a while. Thanks again!
Vicki

I've used this site a little bit. I found a book on my Bard/Beard/Baird(s) that was written in 1908 and pretty interesting. I haven't taken the time to search for more but this book was great. I'd think that I might try to see if it can be printed.
