Here is a message from Jim Cady with information about his books that I received privately--I don't believe he's on our list although I wrote to him about it. Anyway, here's his e-dress. Sue ---------- > From: JCady4100@aol.com > To: suzyfrtz@tir.com > Subject: Cady Genealogy Books > Date: Monday, April 19, 1999 11:09 PM > > Dear Sue, > > Thanks for your recent email concerning the puerchase of one of my Cadu > Genealogy Books. Sorry to be slow in replying. I was out of town three days > last week attending the retirement festivities of a friend of mine retiring > as Registrar from the Baptist University where I seerved for several years as > Academic Vice Prersident. I am still digging out from under the pile > resulting grom my beigout of town. > > Yes, I have some of my books left, about 50 of both the 1991 Cady Genealogy > and the 1995 supplement. The 1991 800-page book is $50 plus $3 mailing fee. > The 1995 200-page spplement is $40 plus $2 mailing fee. If you want to > purchase one or both of my books, send me your check in the proper amount and > I will send your book(s) by return mail. > > Information about my books: > > The 1910 book Cady Genealogy by Orrin Peer Allen was a good book to be > compiled with only an old manual typewriter, but there had been no updates of > new Cadys for the last eighty years until I published my 1991 book Cady > Genealogy Revised and Updated. As the name implies, I revised the material > in Allen's book into a more readable outline so a person can trace a family > line backwards or forwards by simply following the outline form and not > having to jump all around in the Allen book as one must do to trace a family > line. I used about 5,000 names in Allen's books as a starting platform and > built my revised book on them, developing a network of over 200 contributors > from all over the 48 states, Hawaii and France, all of whom gave me an > additional 8,000 Cady or Cady related names for my book, making my 1991 > 800-page book contain 13,051 Cady and/or Cady related names. There are many > thousands still out there unaccouted for, and I'm gradually building a data > base for future publication as I acquire more and more Cady names and > information. > > Complicating my search for Cadys was the fact that I upgraded computers > three times from the original, old Commodor 64 that I used to publish my > first book. I am now running a new Inteva, Pentium 2, with 2.99 GB hard drive > computer with all the bells and whistles (under the supervision of my son who > designed it all and carried me along as I upgraded). So I'm set for good > with hardware. I am using no market software, just developed my own format > for easier and better tracing of family lines. > > After I published in 1991, material continued to pour in, and I accumulated > so much that I had to publish a 200-page, 4,000 name book in 1995 to > contain it all. I'm gradually builiding up material for another supplement > sometime down the road. I am currently toying with the idea of a Y2K > publishing year. > > Best wishes to you in your genie searching, > > Jim Cady > 4100 Pecos Ave > Texarkana, TX 75503-2860 > 903 791 6290 > email: JCady4100@aol.com > > >
