Here is a cute request I received from "It's Elrond". It is nice to know we have some young readers out there. I have replied to Shaun with the message which follows. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- From: Its Elrond <ItsElrond@aol.com> Date: Thu, 23 Apr 1998 21:49:27 EDT To: jaldrich@wsii.com Subject: am i in the book X-Mailer: AOL 3.0 for Windows 95 sub 18 my name is Shaun William Aldrich i am 12 years old and i was just wondering if i am in the book ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- Hello Shaun William Aldrich, I am very pleased to meet you. Thank you for the message. Our records of the Aldrich family are mostly about our Aldrich ancestors. If you can find out the name of your Grand Father or his father perhaps we can find them for you in our records. Most Aldrich's are related to a man named George Aldrich who came to America in the year 1631. He had seven children and most of us are descended from one of them. Tracing your family records way back can be fun! Some people like to see how far back they can go. The best way to do start is to ask as many questions from your relatives like your Grand Parents, your mom and dad and so forth. Ask them about their life when they were 12 and what they remember about their mother and dad. Where do you live Shaun? I live in the state of Rhode Island right on the coast of the Atlantic ocean. Thank you for writing to me. John Aldrich, Portsmouth RI , President, NAA National Aldrich Association Home Page: http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Marina/2343/ e-mail: jaldrich@wsii.com
