    3. As some of you know, Hope Pery Breedlove published a "BREEDLOVE GENEALOGICAL HISTORY" of some 346 pages back in 1965, of which I had an original copy (one of 200 copies made). After loaning it to a cousin, I never saw it again, so I copied the entire book from the LDS film, which now included a 31 page index added by Olive Breedlove Smith. During my correspondence with him, he had indicated he was still updating the material. Just recently I had learned that he had made four copies of a revised work for his children. A copy of this revised work was given me by Caroline Faison that her mother had obtained from Hope. Just now got home with it and the pages are numbered to pg 635, but there are a great many a, b, c, etc pages so I estimate it to be well over 800 pages. Unfortuneately there is no index but the table of contents reads in part Your Family History pg 1 Virginia Breedloves 13 Breedloves in Revolution 51 West Virginia Breedloves 58 North Carolina Breedloves 66 Tennessee Breedloves 78 Kentucky Breedloves 83 Ohio Breedloves 107 Indiana Breedloves 127 Illinois Breedloves 192 Missouri Breedloves 197 South Carolina Breedloves 239 Georgia Breedloves 246 Alabama Breedloves 403 Mississippi Breedloves 405 Louisiana Breedloves 409 Arkansas Breedloves 430 Oklahoma Breedloves 434 Texas Breedloves 452 Misc Breedloves in U.S. 465 Richard Foster & Sarah Wayne Breedlove 470 James Foster Breedlove 542 Jordon, Moon, Reid & Lyle Families sup 1 pgs 1-59 John Adams of Walton Co. GA sup 2 pgs 1-39 Like the original book, this was done on onion skin paper, which was common in those days for typing many copies at a time with sheets of carbon paper in between. Some of the pages have light faded areas but at first glance I could make out almost everything. The pages were copied one at a time since many had items stapled or pasted to them, so the set I have represents probably the best copy available. I want to make this book available to anyone that wants a copy from my copy. Cost will be 5 cents per page plus postage. My cost is a little over 4 cents per page so if there is any profit it will pay to have extra copies made to send to the LDS Library in Salt Lake and to the Georgia Archives. I estimate the total price with postage to be less than $50, though I can't say for sure until I actually count all of the pages and take a package to the post office to get the rates for 1st class or book rate shipping. Once I get the actual counts and prices in the next few days, I will send another message letting everyone know the exact cost. So anyone who is interested in the best and as far as I know, only book devoted solely to the Breedlove family, please let me know. Tom King
