I have had several requests for information concerning the Ellis Cousins Newsletter from subscribers of Ellis-L so I thought I would just post this general information about ECN to the list. First, I do not have any vested interest in this newsletter other than I have submitted material for a couple of articles, have submitted queries and have been a subscriber for the past 18 years. Now, the Ellis Cousins Newsletter is a quarterly publication published by a very dedicated couple, Bill and Carol Ellis of 1201 Maple Street, Friona, TX 79035. Their telephone number, printed on the newsletter, is 806-247-3053. Bill and Carol do not have e-mail capability; they still do all of their correspondence by snail-mail. The newsletter runs to 80-90 pages a year...published quarterly. The cost of a subscription is $16.00 a year and also includes membership in Ellis Cousins Nationwide. All queries are free. Back issues from 1980 are available at $4.00 each or $16.00 per year; a surname index for each year from 1980 to the present is also available at a cost of $4.00 each. I hope that this information will answer all of the questions you might have about this newsletter. Ellis ([email protected])
