Barry & Nelda -- Barry -- These are the late Clifford Neal Smith's monographs back in print. Most were originally published in the 1970s and complement the HETRINA volumes published about the same time as Smith also covers the Brunswick and Anspach-Bayreuth troops. They are an essential research tool for the genealogist beginning his or her serach for a German soldier who severved in America; however, they belong in a public library. Much, if not most of Clifford Neal Smith's source data is available to the public via microfilm purchased from the Library of Congress; however, it may be written in Greman script or in French or in English or a combination of languages. Nelda -- I think you are overreacting by reminding Barry that it is RootsWeb policy that idividuals can not advertise to sell items on RootsWeb lists then telling him "Please do not re-advertise ... " Barry has no personnel gain in advising the list that the Clifford Neal Smith monographs are back in print. When HETINA came back in print, I first learned of the fact and of the details of how to acquire copies by hearing about it on this list. If you'll recall, members of this list have had cemetery monuments and lapel pins manufactured on a non-profit basis for the benefit of members of this list. I don't belive that Rootswebs anti-commericalism policy was/is intended to eliminate "public service announcements" which is what I consider that Barry did.
