Julie,
Thank you so much for telling the list about Will Barker's new edition of
his Families of Montgomeryshire. Over the years I have found his CD quite
helpful in my searching. I have sent him an order.
I have stumbled on an easy way to make comparisons between two CD's on my
computer by using both the standard CD player and the Rewritable player.
This allows one to toggle between two programs without the wasted time of
going through the start-up procedure.
This lets me but the 1851 Montgomeryshire census disk in one drive and
Barker's disc in the other and quickly go back and forth with the ability to
copy and paste to my genealogy program.

Hello lists,
I've recently been in touch with Bill Barker and offered to pass on the
following information relative to an updated version of his CD. A
complete
description of the CD's contents is included below. Anyone
wishing to
order
the CD from Bill should use the order form at the bottom of this
email.
If
you've already purchased the earlier version of the CD, please
note the
"upgrade" price. All new purchasers would pay the normal price. Bill
accepts cheques in British Pounds Sterling if you're ordering from the UK.

original version and intend to purchase the upgrade CD.

Subject: Families of Montgomeryshire Wales - CD, version 4
Dear Julie,
In April, 2001, I completed a new release, version 4, of my CD book on
Welsh genealogy "Families of Montgomeryshire, Wales 1675 to 1825". The
April 2001 release has about a ten percent increase in genealogical
material, compared to the November 1998 version. It also has a new
section
of my partial transcription of about 1,000 pages of Montgomeryshire
parish
records of births, deaths, and marriages (these are taken mostly from LDS
films of bishops transcripts from Montgomeryshire parishes in the period
1670 to 1837). For the duration of this year I am offering to sell the
new
version 4 to prior purchasers of the Montgomeryshire Families CD at
an
upgrade price of $12.00 for domestic USA customers or $14.00 (or 9.50 UK
pounds) for overseas shipment. If ordering the upgrade, please use the
order form below but substitute the upgrade price in place of the normal
$20/$22 CD price.
Julie, I would appreciate it if you could "spread the word" as you say on
the Montgomeryshire and Powys mailing lists. Thanks.
The remaining text is the standard offer information:
The book "Families of Montgomeryshire, Wales 1675 to 1825", a genealogical
compendium by William V.H. Barker, is available recorded on Compact Disk
(CD) for IBM-compatible PC and Apple Macintosh home computers. The book
on
CD contains an introduction file, a contents file, and about 556
files on
major families and other individuals (by parish in Montgomeryshire). The
CD files. which are meant to be read by the user's word processing
software, are in Microsoft's Rich Text Format (files have ".RTF" extension
and can be read by Microsoft Works, Microsoft Word, and most other word
processors). At present (April 2001) the book on CD is the equivalent of
about 4,613 pages typewritten. No paper printout is supplied with the CD;
it being left to the user to print desired portions for themselves.
The author is continuing to add results from current research to this
book.
In the future, it is expected that a revised version will be offered
to CD
purchasers (at an upgrade price).
