Is the history published about eight years ago still available for purchase? I am researching the Cornog/Long families.

I would be glad to contribute such as I can about my ancestry in Christian county, I'll have to work on it a though. What sort of a time line are you looking at for stories to be submitted? C. Abbott

Sorry. No. It sold out within a few months of publication, but attempts to see if Turner Publishing who printed it would reprint were unsuccessful. If another book is done, it's a fairly labor intensive and lengthy procedure. Strictly guessing, it MIGHT be possible to get it printed by 2009. Since we are just gauging interest right now, there would many months at a minimum before any deadline for sumission would be reached.
