HATCHER website: http://hatcherfamilyassn.com HALL DNA project: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~nhatcher/hall/HDNAtest.htm "If you can't stand the skeletons, stay out of the closet" - Val D Greenwood Cuzins, I've heard back from Brent Holcomb who wants a list of the books to search. Since there are SO many of them, I thought that we might get many of them searched by volunteers from NC, SC, and GA who have access to bigger libraries. Other states that have good geney libraries would likely also have these books. Below is a very LONG list. If you'd like to volunteer, select the group of books you want to work with or tell me how many you want. It's a simple (and possibly boring) project. Take a bag of paper clips with you. Find the books. Check the index for Hatcher, MILAM and HAY or HAYS. If you find any refs, go to the page(s) and paper clip them. When you've finished, get copies of all your paper-clipped pages. Make sure the pertinent info does not continue on the next page. If it does, copy both pages. ALSO, make sure the title of the book and page number is on the page. If not, hand write it. This is very important so that we have the proper sourcing Keep track of your copying costs. Mail the copies to me and I will reimburse you for your expenses. Easy, huh? Warning! Not all of these books are authored by Brent so find them by title. You may or may not find a single reference to our names (now THAT's boring) but we will at least know what's been searched. My other list for Brent will be for locations where I would expect to find our names and where I would expect to have more work for Brent.
