If you have historical or genealogical books or records about Lake County and wouldn't mind doing an occasional lookup for others, please send me Ralph Turner an email and I will include your name and resource here.
As you can see, we have three volunteers. Does anyone have some books about Lake County, or maybe a list of early settlers? Also residents of Lakeview who would like to look up things in the courthouse, at the mortuary, library, cemeteries or newspapers are needed.
