Sandy, Thank you for the suggestion. Will contact Gwen Haynes. Chaplain Ferris' work is being continued by his namesake, Jim Ferris, of Alabama jgferris@aol.com . Not sure of the relation between the deceased chaplain and this Jim, but there is one. Jim has much of the chaplain's work (believe four of the five volumes) computerized and makes periodic updates based on his research and correspondence. Have not seen any of the actual books; there were only five original five volume sets, distributed to major genealogical libraries as you said. Some months back, Jim sent me most of the "John" line (Jeffrey, John,...) as a zip file. Other cousins and I have been trying to connect with the Jeffrey Ferris line for many years now.
