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 > > >
