What Burton's I find I print out and file for reference incase they match up later. Will you have the following books in your site for purchase? They would be two that I will purchase if I don't find them in my lending library list at NEHGS. "Vital Records of Kent and Sussex Counties, Delaware 1686 -1800," by F. Edward Wright "Pioneers of Old Frederick County Virginia" by Cecil O'Dell. Your post was so informative and interesting and waiting for your website for Willow Bend Books to be ready. Your are such a neat person and I count my self lucky to have found your list and smart enough to have joined it. I recently purchased the CD of "The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633" by Robert Charles Anderson. RootsWeb has a Product Watch that I receive and they have specials and this was one recently. There has been so much talk about this beginning series that when I saw the price I jumped on it with all fours. I plan to get into it on Sun the 10th to see if it is what I expected to find in it. If you would like I can give you a small run down on it after I learn how to manage the CD. I do not right now know what to expect in operating the CD I'm not into using these much so it will be a learning process for this old bird.
