Note of Thanks
by Jackie & Alan Gilligan
I just wanted to say Thank You to George Estey . He had sent out a BIG file (prints out 69 pages long) to the list. At the time I wasn't able to open it - I was having problems with my system. My Uncle Vern is breaking down the file to send to me in smaller parts. (Thanks to him also!) This file starts with a little history of John & Jane. Then goes on to give more info., not just dates facts etc... This is what I need for that sheet I am making up! A big Thanks to you George. I did in fact email him privately, but I wanted to make you all aware of what it is that I have definately decided to do. This is getting bigger than I originally thought, so instead of a spread sheet as I planned, I am now going to do it in a mini book form - on Microsoft Word. It shouldn't be more than 15 - 16 pages long! The first page will be just of John & Jane (with most of what I got from George's file on it). The next pages will be of each seperate generation, with as much history as I have or you all send me on thier lives. The last page will end with the 14th generation - as some of you have sent me info up to that generation. I realize that The Society does plan on making another book with the current generations on it, and I am not trying to do anything that will overshadow that future book. The books that we get from the Society are great and I have every intention of buying the next one when it comes out. But this one I am doing will be more of a personnal story line rather than just facts and figures. If you all are still interested then please let me know so when I get it done I can send it on to you. I know most everyone has microsoft word so they should be able to open it with no problems. If you are not interested then when I send it to the list you can just delete it from your mail. Thanks again. jackie
