I have long wanted to visit Breckenridge County to see where my ancestors
lived, but you made me realize that I would have no idea where to go when I
got there!
I think some use of GoogleEarth or similar with some place names and
cemeteries would be very helpful, especially if someone added some old place
names to guide us.

Thanks, Doug
