I have worked on family tree for 42 years. I was the founder and first president of the Broken Arrow Genealogy Society, Broken Arrow, OK in 1976. I was born and raised in Vinita, Craig Co, Ok, and my family is still from there. My mother, Eunice (Swift) Hightower, age 96, of Vinita, Ok has spent many years collecting clippings out of the local newspapers into scrapbooks. I have eleven of the 3-ring notebooks (each about 200 pages) indexed and online on the usgenweb archive page for Craig Co, OK. I receive requests all the time for copies of the obits, which I scan in and send by email. This is a FREE service from our family to help the cause of genealogy. I personally have a computer genealogy database of over 117,000 persons that I share whenever I can in files by email for free. I love the history, detective work and the thrill of piecing together the bits of information from census records, history books, etc.
