Hello list, First, I apologize to those who aren't interested. Please delete now. Second, I apologize for the multiple posts. I have no other way of reaching all the people who showed interest in this project. < It IS genealogy related. > This is just a short note to bring ya'll up to date on the Cookbook with a Genealogy Theme. It's coming along nicely. I've received lots of wonderful recipes and some stories (a couple of photos) from lots of wonderful people. I thank all of you for your contributions. I still would like to have a few more recipes, etc. For those who want to send recipes to me, please do so soon. I am in the long, hard process of typing everything up and hope to get it all organized soon. The deadline for contributions will be March 31. Some of you have already reserved one or more copies of the cookbook. I am not quite ready to ask for prepaid orders, however, I would appreciate it if you would reserve your books now. Please include your snail mail address. I will need it to mail your books to you. Last, but not least, if you want some genealogy included, send that to me, also. A pedigree chart outlined as the following would be nice: g-g-g-grandparents: William McElvy & Barbara (Barbary) Reeves g-g-grandparents: Lawson Gamble McElvy & Julia Margaret Booth g-grandparents: Albert Booth McElvy & Sarah Jane (Sallie Ann) Moore grandparents: Lillian Forest McElvy & Oliver Noah Chester parents: Jane Randolph Chester & John (J.C.) Calvin Yon me: Deretha Elizabeth (Liz) Yon & Valentine Lester Gerlits, Jr. If you have more than one line, as I do, and want them included, send them all. I'll include them. Thank you!
