Hello Shaun: John Aldrich sent your letter to the Aldrich List with your question, are you in the book? You may be in Vol 6 or perhaps the yet to be published Volume 7. The reason I say this is because my children appear in Vol 4. As John suggested, if you will tell us the names and dates of your parents, and your Aldrich Grandparents, I will be happy to look in 1-5 volumes of the George Aldrich Genealogy. You might be interested in knowing that there is a link to Pres. William Howard Taft, and also to the Rockefellars, i. e. Nelson Aldrich Rockefellar, who was a Vice President of the U. S. Both these men descend from George Aldrich. It is nice that you are interested in knowing if your name is in the book. I hope you will be interested enough in learning more about your ancestry, and you are at the right age to become a genealogist, as more than likely your grandparents are still living and you can ask them these questions. Please let us know where you live, and I would like to send your some data sheets which you can send out or give to your relatives and askthem to fill them out as best they can, and this is how you begin. If you have questions, please e-mail us, to the list or to us privately. I for one will be happy to help you and will try to answer your questions. I think anyone on the Aldrich list will try to help too. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Alison Alison Franks Archivist, Rawson Family Association 11th generation Aldrich too. _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
