Hi Karen,
Thanks much for your input on Samuel's brother, Isaac. I would love to
exchange gedcoms and shall do so as soon as I have them all on my newest
computer program. I have been writing a CASTLE Family History for the
past few years, have collected research data on CASTLES for over 25
years and finally decided to do something more challenging. I am an 11th
generation CASTLE.
If you like, I can send you what I have on Isaac/Tapher and Isaac/Lydia.
However, it will be better if I can just send gedcoms a bit later as I
have their descendants down through 7 or 8 generations roughdrafted and
more to go. I redid my filing system and updated my computer programs,
of which I am now using two: Family Tree Maker and newest: Ultimate
Family Tree. I am going to use one, specifically, for my book, not sure
which one yet. I couldn't believe all of the information I had collected
in that time. Several trips to Connecticut and New York, and I can't
wait to go back for more. Have corresponded, over the years, with many
CASTLE researchers, attended one reunion, met several previously unknown
relatives. I can't think of a more rewarding past-time.
If I can be of help in any way, please let me know. I won't forget the
gedcoms at a later date, probably weeks, as I have to put a new mother
board in my computer. Talk about a challenge!, especially at my age.:>)
Take care and keep in touch,
Nancy Castle Eggleston
