Hello: My name is Tom Bryan and I would be happy to buy the Shearer-Akers book from you as I am related to both surnames. Tom Bryan P.O. Box 2266 Saratoga, Ca 95070 TBryan@care.co.sanmateo.ca.us Let me know where to send the check and I will put it in the Mail ASAP. Tom -----Original Message----- From: Alice Smith [mailto:smitham@acadia.net] Sent: Monday, February 28, 2000 6:09 AM To: AKERS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: New to the list. Cathy: I have a copy of Shearer-Akers which is of no use to me. If you want to buy it (I think I paid about $15.00 for it) it's yours. After I finish work for the day I'll check the cost and let you know: perhaps you could reply and tell me if you're interested? And Yes: the Robert (below) who married Sarah, is not the father of William who married Elizabeth Martye. TTYL.
