To My Fellow CARWILE Family Researchers:
I have had a HARD DRIVE failure on my old computer with ALL my Genealogy
Files on it. I sent the Hard Drive to a company that restores Hard Drives
and they said that the Hard Drive had a catastrophic failure that put a
groove across the entire hard drive disk surface making it impossible to
restore anything.
I made the terrible mistake of NOT backing up my important data before taking
the old computer out to a computer place to have my files transferred from
the old to the new computer. The computer was working PERFECTLY when we
left the house with it. It was apparently damaged somehow enroute.
All my CARWILE genealogy files that took 22 years to find are gone. ALL my
updated CARWILE book is gone. I do have a backup copy of these two items
dated January 1997.............Since then I have added 65 pages to my book,
now gone.
I will try to rebuild my book and files from this info that I do have.
I have sent copies of some of the CARWILE books updated portions to several
people in the past. Maybe 5 to ten pages at a time. If anyone has hard
copies of this still available, would you please make a copy for me and send
it to me. Anything after January 1997 that I have sent you that was not in
the book published in 1996.
I am going to try to rebuild my files from the info that I now have. Any
help anyone can provide me will certainly be appreciated.
