You ought to be given a medal for saving those old ledgers. You didn't mention how many years they covered, or what years, or where that general store was, but if they are as rich in useful historical/genealogical/economic data as a few I have seen,they might well form the basis for writing a short social history of that area of whatever state you reside in - after, of course, some real heads-down data analysis that would reveal the story and the economic trends they hold.What a fascinating opportunity! Bet lyou wish you had managed to get the rest of them.
