The response to my effort to print and distribute "Overstreets in Virginia - 300 Years of Bedford County" in 1999 has been met with some success and recently several questions about when "is the update workbook going to be available?" The Thomas 'the hatter' Overstreet & Judith Walker family has had more information exchanged than any of the other Bedford family lines. The Bedford data base has grown from 6,000 to over 10,000 names. This growth has only happened because of so many wonderful and helpful folks like you. With this expression of interest, I am making available a workbook with Thomas 'the hatter' Overstreet and Judith Walker as the eldest ancestor. Distribution will began by the early part of December 2000, so orders will be shipped in time for holiday sharing with others. Please contact me if you might have any interest in considering acquiring this useful resource of Overstreet family history. A prepublication discount will be allowed for all orders placed before copy goes 'to the printer', about December 4th. Email orders are accepted and all email orders will be acknowledged. Orders will be shipped Priority Mail after your check has been received, thank you. I expect the orders to be ready for shipment on the 12th of December. Please be fore warned! This data base is only able to grow and help others in response to the information that everyone shares. You will be expected to let me, or our friends at Rootsweb, know what corrections are needed and the additions you know about and would like included into the data base.
