Hi, Ed ... I don't know if anyone got back to you on the book "The Irvines and Their Kin" but I just turned up a copy by going to http://www.abebooks.com/ and searching on "Irvines and Their Kin". It's $125 so perhaps you're not going to jump on it but I did want to mention to everyone that I've had great success with the used book cooperatives like ABE and Interloc, which has recently become ALibris ( http://www2.alibris.com/cgi-bin/texis/bookstore ). I haven't used BiblioFind ( http://www.bibliofind.com ) as much but it may be good too. These places are great for local histories you'd never find otherwise and the prices can be incredibly cheap if the book's not too rare. -- Julia ED ERWIN wrote: > > Hi Dorothy--wonder if you could give me an idea where to find or order a > copy of this book.
