Stan has identified my online name index of Ankrum's descendants of Alexander Mack here. And for those who are disappointed after looking at it, I apologize for not having an update posted. A new version adds a fifth column with the associated page numbers in Ankrum's 1943 work. The old version currently at freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~thomasliby lists the descendants who Ankrum records in his book (with a couple of my known errors). The ID number is helpful to find the page numbers only if you are using the printed copy I deposited years ago at the Brethren Historical Library and Archives in Elgin. I still have work to proof-read the new index before I upload it to the site. In the meantime, if anyone finds a name in the current online index and writes to me at my e-mail address, I will give you the page numbers. I do not always keep up with my mailing list subscriptions so do not expect a prompt reply by posting a query to this list. I have two other priorities in my list of genealogical projects and will not have the revised index posted anytime soon. (I promise by the end of Sunday 01 January 2012.) My disclaimer that should encourage you to read the book anyway is that only descendants are listed in the index. Ankrum mentions neighbors, land owners, business partners, ministers of weddings and funerals, parents of spouses who marry into the family, and others who may be of interest to those researching associated and allied families. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, Mar 4, 2011 11:22 pm Subject: BRETHREN Digest, Vol 6, Issue 75 Message: 6 Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2011 15:46:24 -0500 From: "Stan4 Follis" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [BRE] Alexander Mack book is on Heritage Quest but has NO index - but there is one online!
