Your To-Do

Explore the FamilySearch catalog and identify some materials for the locations you're researching, as well as search for some of the surnames you are interested in. You can add these to your to-do list of materials to review. 

*****

Using KEYWORD search for place names appears to return a greater number of collected holdings. The KEYWORDS "Cowley County, Kansas" returns are shown here, https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/results?count=20&query=%2Bkeywords%3ACowley%20%2Bkeywords%3ACounty%2C%20%2Bkeywords%3AKansas 

And, for the KEYWORDS, "Merrick, Nebraska" https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/results?count=20&query=%2Bkeywords%3AMerrick%2C%20%2Bkeywords%3ANebraska

So, the FamilySearch catalog gives me more to search for "George Milton Rice"
