Hi Everyone,
Please be aware that the message below is a form of spam. The author uses a
'hit-and-run' process, by subbing to a list, sending his 'for sale'
message, and
then immediately un-subbing. He switches addresses, so there's no effective way
to ban him from the lists. By last count of list admins reporting him on the
listowners' list, he's already hit about a dozen lists and I'm sure that's
only a
fraction of the lists he has contacted. I see that he has just subbed to another
of mine in the last few minutes, so he's not finished.
The Rootsweb Help desk has dealt with him before; they've been informed and
they will take whatever steps they can, however, as I said, it's difficult to
intercept such messages when offenders switch e-mail addresses.
If you have any questions, I'll be glad to try to help.
Nancy
Hello,After many years of searching, I have built a substantial collection of
useful out-of-print manuscripts important to the study of Ulster family history.
Many of you have benefited from the information contained in these documents and
this will be a final chance to add important items to your collection to help you
in your research.
Several of these books are available in only a few major University libraries
and, in the case of Fighters of Derry, copies were made from microfilm because I
was never able to find an actual copy in the US. Professor Hagy gave me
permission to copy his thesis, Castle's Woods, and I may have one of the only
remaining original copies. It was of particular interest to me because the Cowan
family was one of the "frontier families of southwest Virginia." These
documents
track settlers who came from Scotland to Ulster to Pennsylvania, Virginia,
Tennessee and points west. These Scots-Irish research materials follow that
path.
There are a total of 15 documents and each is described fully below. The price
for each document is $25, which covers the cost of copying plus postage.
(The only exception is Tinkling Spring, which is $30 because of its length.)
Should you decide to purchase any of the materials, please send a check to:
