For those of you who subscribe to the Avery Advocate, you will see listed in your new newsletter a manuscript by Douglas C. Schenk, "The Descendants of Henry B. and Bessie S. (Adams) Avery". For those of you who do not get the Advocate here is the information. The book has approximately 255 pages, printed on one side. It is clipbound with flexible boards, and includes copies of lots of old letters, photos, clippings and some articles that range from 1800-1994. This is a very interesting, informal genealogical and historical type of manuscript. Mr. Schenk typed the entire manuscript on an old typewriter so it is not what we are used to in the way of formal genealogical books. However, you will find it has had a lot of very loving work put into it and is very interesting reading. It begins with Christopher Avery (b.1590 d.1679). It contains many other surnames (with information) besides the Avery name. The price is more than reasonable: $28.00 ppd. Mr. Schenk is not of the computer age, so you can write to him at: Douglas C. Schenk 43 Palmer Road Monson, MA 10157 He is always thrilled to correspond with those who are researching the same lines he is.
