    3. Mye Goodye Cosynes, I am pleased to announce that our next Markham book is well on its way to this list and the "TW" website. This book is the one written by the Rev. David Markham: "A HISTORY OF THE MARKHAM FAMILY". Our Goodye Cosyne, David Markham, from New Zealand, has offered to place this book into Word7 format for us. This means he will do ALL the typing of text, scanning of pictures, and layout of this original Markham book in Word 7.xx format. I will probably do an HTML website format of the book myself, as this is relatively quick and easy to do from a Word7 format. Apparently this book is now complete from the 'Index' to the end of the first chapter !!!. Some large scans of some of the pictures might also be made available on the "TW" website. I am hoping to have this up on the "TW" website soon, between a few days to 2 weeks or so, depending how much problems I have with the phone lines here. I am virtually off-line at the moment due to this problem. It will be announced as soon as these files are uploaded. There a dummy file on the site at the moment. ====================================================================== To answer some questions: >>> ... in reading under Pastor Columbus Carl Marcum, I can only get the dedication. It would seem there would be more pages unless the History of the Markhams of Northamptonshire is what actually was printed. Could you please explain this to me. <<< I am not sure I fully understand the question/s, but remember to read VERY carefully the very first page to the whole "TW" website. It tries hard to tell the reader that MOST LINKS ARE AT THE FAR BOTTOM OF THE PAGES !!!. This is done like this so that they do not print on the Markham book pages, but on a separate page altogether. It does mean that one must go right down to the far bottom of the page to click on the word "NEXT", or int the case of "GENEALOGICAL MEMORANDA" I think it was, the links at the bottom of the pages were black pictures of an arrow right and an arrow left. These are to go to the next page (arrow right) or back to previous page (arrow left). This is one of the very few exceptions where one only has to look for the word "NEXT" at the bottom of a page. To get to the bottom of a web page quickly to see if there are any links to further pages, just press the "END" button, it will take you to the end of the web page straight away. "GENEALOGICAL MEMORANDA": was only in the region of about 21 pages. The scanned picture version of this book is there, this is the entire book scanned for you. The website HTML format is also available on the "TW" website here. It is a fairly short book. "HISTORY OF THE MARKHAM FAMILY... NORTHAMPTONSHIRE...": This was about 120 pages long or so. This entire book is on the "TW" website in its web HTML format. "MARKHAM MEMORIALS": This very long set of two volumes, being about 577 pages in total, is available in its entirity, in web HTML format on the "TW" website. I have just a week ago printed my own first copy of this book for my father, who recently had a heart-attack. I made one or two slight changes, and only one picture needs to be changed again. Printing on A4 paper it stacked a pile about 2.5" high. A Word7 version of this book might come about next year. The advantage of Word7 format is mainly cleaner printing with page breaks etc. "A HISTORY OF THE MARKHAM FAMILY" BY THE REV. DAVID FREDERICK MARKHAM: This classic Markham book is now busy being put together for us, and will hopefully be placed on the "TW" website in the near future in a Word7 format to start off with. It will probably also be placed into an web HTML format as well there-after. This is NOT yet available on the "TW" website !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. "GENEOLOGY OF THE MARKHAM FAMILY" BY WILBUR F. MARKHAM: This is the latest complete Markham book to be added to the "TW" website. It is available in three versions, a scanned picture version, and a web HTML version, and a Word7 version designed for A4 paper. This book is given to us by Beverly (Eiser) Markham. * All these books are found just by clicking on the links in the menus on the "TW" website. The problem you might have experienced may have been caused by me uploading to the website at the same time you were trying to view the pages. The only pages where there will be items such as pictures that don't show, are in one of Columbus' chapters where all the picture emblems of the tribes are not available, and the other, is in the Markham Arms chapter, I do not have all the pictures of the different Markham arms, so only the description of the arms is shown with a blank picture. Every item in the website has been of interest to myself. There is still volumes to be added in time to come. Some very future interests for the website are full lineages in html on the Josiah, John, Deacon Daniel lines, Census Records - All, and maybe a couple more books... If you feel you still can not access a page(s), just email me directly again, and we can sort it out from there. I have just tested all the links in Columbus' section of "TW", and everything seems to be working fine... Yours Sincerely, Sir Ken Markham, K.C.B., (95).
