Ruth, That's a good question. That's one of the main reasons that I don't get involved in several thousand page books. However, in the past, there have been many people who have written family history or town history w/genealogies books. Check out Higginson Books, they do reprints of these types of books. I have several.

It's only of interest to one person - the one whose ancestors these are. I certainly hope she doesn't hand it back. Ruth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank L.
