Can someone tell me how to get in touch with the widow or daughter of Harold Colby Smith? I would like to discuss with them the possibility of arranging for Higginson Books to do a facsimile reprint of "The Colby Family in Early America." John Slaughter, the Essex County website administrator, tells me that this can be done while protecting the interest of the copyright owner. If the reprint is ordered in sufficient quantities (at least 10 copies), John can also negotiate a significant discount with Higginson Books. Guy I.
