This is great stuff. If you don't want it, please consider donating it to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City with permission to microfilm it. That would preserve it and make the info available to lots of people who might be interested in these families. Even if you do want to keep it, consider sending in copies to SLC with permission to microfilm. For info on how to donate to the FHC in SLC, look here. http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHL/frameset_library.asp?PAGE=library_donations.asp Sheila in Baltimore, MD -----Original Message----- From: marcher51@sbcglobal.net [mailto:marcher51@sbcglobal.net] Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2004 8:05 PM To: DUMFRIES-GALLOWAY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: re: family records I was given by a friend who had no use for it, a collection of large charts of different families. It looks like a large volumn, but when you open it, it is two pockets, one on each side that holds the folded charts. The charts are abt. 4x legal paper. I think they are comparable to ahnentafel outlines or reports that we see nowadays. Any comments appreciated. <hack>
