Jack
Thanks for your message I have forwarded it to the Caswell listserver, less
the items of a personal nature. Unfortunately, I cannot undertake this
book, as I am too busy with my other internet activities. perhaps someone
else would like to pick up the ball?

Dear Mike,
Here is the story of the Caswell Book as I know it.
John Edwards Caswell, Judy Todhunter and probably others were working on
a book on the descendants of Andrew Caswell and Mary Jane Dickson. When
I tried phoned John E. Caswell's residence early this spring I spoke to
his wife Alberta. John had had a stroke and was no longer able to
continue his work on the Caswell book. Alberta said that all of his
files had been sent to Judy Todhunter in Delta BC. About 2 months ago
Judy sent me a draft of the book, a word file called Book3.doc, on a
floppy disk. It looks like the book might be about 1/3 finished but
needs a lot more work. Judy is raising a young family, and her computer
has been out of commision for most of this year. She is not currently
on the internet and does not have an email address. She is not
currently working on the book and mentioned that she would have more
time to work on it when she retired :) She is no longer with her
previous partner a Dave Bowman (I think) and her current partner is Ken
Rosmus.
I think it is safe to say that there is no current activity on this
book. I feel that if there was a determined Caswell researcher that
would like to pick up the book draft and continue onwards that Judy
would be agreable but you should check this out with her.
I talked to Judy on the telephone about 3 days ago, so it is funny that
you should recall my email mentioning the book of so many months ago and
decide to contact me. Judy has asked me to get you to correct her entry
in the list of Caswell researchers on your Web page. She would like you
to remove her email address and replace it with her current mailing
address only.

I am descended from Sarah Caswell and Ephraim Case.
There is another active Caswell researcher that I am in contact with
that is descended from James Dickson Caswell and Mary Martin. She has
done quite a bit of new work on this line. Her name is:

I could send you a copy of the draft of the Book but don't think it
should be posted for public access unless you check with Judy first.
Best regards, Jack.
