Seeking Tobler Vital Records

In September of 2010, I contacted George Tobler, my uncle to see if he had a copy of any vital documents on my grandparents, Alice and Ezra Tobler.  He indicated that he and his wife had taken all the photos, documents, and other memorabelia from my grandparents and compiled them into four scrapbooks.  Kevin and I went to their home one evening and perused the treasures!  I was so excited by the items they contained and desperately wanted a copy for myself and my family history records.   I asked to borrow the books, but they were reluctant to allow them to be loaned due to the extensive time investment they had made to compile them.  They did, however, indicate that they hoped to scan and digitize them in the future and asked if I would like to help.  We agreed to begin after the holiday season.
