Hello, LAWS list; Just found this in my files. Amy LAWS is mentioned about halfway down.

Just didn't plan for so much mail on so many lines. > > After I sat and digested what you sent, I was amazed. This is really my husband's line. Thank you, so very very much. > > Yes, tell me where I can get a copy of this book. Am always anxious to add more data to my PAF. As a matter of fact, you may have tied me into some of the east coast DYER's I keep reading about. >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > After reading it, realized you have given me your descent. Well, is there any chance you have a descendency chart from William Jr.? > > You and Richard (my husband) are relatives, I am junt not sure how. And, his mother is the DYER. > > Also, as I read what you sent & checked out the names against those in my PAF file, I am sure that Watson B. DYER must have used the same book for much of what he wrote. > > It is a great book, but there is no documentation. (I'm guilty, too) It is also fraught with glaring errors, even in the stuff I sent him. HOwever, if one know that, one can use such a book as a guide. >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > If I did not tell you before, I have a book written by a cousin, Watson B. DYER, now deceased. If there is anything I can copy for you, let me know. > >More later.................................................... > > >At 02:15 AM 3/4/97 -0500, you wrote: >>Sandra: >> >>The book that contains the Dyer genealogy is called "Genealogy and History of >>Pense and Allied Families by Beverly Pense.
