Morning Sarge, I do not know if the (3) books are still copyrighted or not. I don't think they are. They were printed in 1914, 1926 and 1929 and far as I can tell out of print and no longer available for purchase unless you luck up finding a very old copy. The 1914 volume is available in many libraries but not for checking out of the library. I bought two of my CD copies several years ago (2003 & 2004) from a printing company that scanned old books onto CD. The other one (1929) I downloaded picture page by page and then scanned them into a PDF file for myself and some other researchers. I then just recently downloaded the 1914 volume due to the pictures were much better in the digitized PDF that I found online for FREE. I have always felt funny selling CDs to others especially when I like to share any info that might help others in their research and I don't like making money off others who are trying to research their families without spending a fortune doing it. So, I just charge the fee of mailing and I can mail any way the person would like. I recently mailed a CD to Australia. My new best website friend for downloading full books for free in PDF format is at books.google.com There is a trick though...Go into "Advanced Search". Mark "100 Searches". Enter a "Name" and any other clue, like an author name. Mark "Full book". You will be shocked as to how many books are out their that mention the Fishback family. There is one book that I found on Abraham Lincoln where he writes to his old lawyer William M. Fishback (Gov. of Arkansas). I have found books on almost all my family lines that I am researching (even one called "Genealogical and Historical Notes on Culpeper County, Virginia" Published 1900) They are big files, big books, so be prepared. I keep flash drives (256MB, 1GB and 2GB) with me at all times. When I am not busy at work, my bosses allow me to do my family research (I think they get as excited as I do when I find that missing fella or gal that I have been looking for), so when I find something I can download it onto my stick and transfer it to my home computer or a CD later. Another thing I have done is if I see a book on ancestry or some other site I then immediately go and check to see if I can download it from books.google.com for FREE!! (I just looked at books.google.com and they do write on that the 1914 book copyright has expire) Anyway, send me your address to _JensTwigs@aol.com_ (mailto:JensTwigs@aol.com) and I will be happy to get a cd out to you ASAP if you would like one.

Hi Sarge, I stumbled upon this while searching for my Scottish ancestors, but this Henry Hoffman (in the 1927 book) may not be the Germanna Henry Hoffman you're looking for. http://www.accessgenealogy.com/surnames.htm --- Free Online Surname Books HOFFMAN GENEALOGY Based on: Ancestors of George Bartlett Hoffman and his wife Emma Teresa Cronk; Compiled by Josephine C. Frost, 1927. <http://www.surnameguide.com/hoffman/index.htm> "... This is definitely a Dutch New York family, with most lines originating in Holland, and later ending up in "New Holland" or New York...." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
