"Families of Southern Tier New York, North Eastern Pennsylvania, Some Indian Connections" VOL. I ADAMS, HOPKINS,KELLAM, JENSON, LORD,PARSONS got put to bed at 3 a.m. this morning. It ended up some 1200 pages, as I included many marryng in famiies, however sparse, so: divided it into 2 , thus, VOL. II is half done. The finished product, with photos, is still bigger than originally planned, however, hopefully everyone will enjoy. Have edited //proofed til I'm blind---FTM doesn't do well with text, capitol letters at the beginning of a sentence. That kind of thing. Drove me crazy. I sat with the kids in front of the TV watching a movie they rented--"Meeting the Parents"--to take a break--they brought the scales in from the bathroom, ----I was leafing thru all the stacks of papers to see if anything major had been overlooked-- a photo misplaced, whatever. 33 lbs of 8 1/2 by 11 sheets/notes, pages-- And that doesn't count the books, and already put away files. Off to Raleigh late tomorrow, or before 9 Tuesday--- MAX 10 day turn around.(they say--it gets sent to their "hub" out of town--by truck, not the good old US Mail-- only thing I'll be able to change then is the number ordered. (yes, I have two copies of the manuscript---one for them, one for me) With ic pages, well above 600 pgs--Kellam being the major portion. Thank you for your patience, the fact this is 6 months overdo. BUT, I got new info right up thru this past week---and wanna bet??? A major break thru will happen on Thursday. LOLOL Go to print, and the mail box fills up. Been there, done that one. Sheila // Firehair, coffee cup in hand.---checking page numbers to be sure they run consecutively as advertised, and randomly checking index against same.
