Hi - For those of you who are descendants of Michael Franck/Franks of Fayette County, PA (c.1725-1793) and missed the opportunity to purchase the 1979 publication of the Michael Franks family history, there should be a reprint of this book available next year. Many of Michael Franks' descendants initially settled in Wayne Co., then migrated to the Shreve, Holmesville, Millersburg, Nashville/Loudonville areas. Related surnames include Badger, Bonewitz, First, Fluhart(y), Hoffman/Huffman, Hostettler, Kerr, Leckrone, Mackey, Matthews, Miller, Riddle, Starner, Wachtel. The original project was undertaken by genealogists Alice Rowley Franks and Donald Sublette, and was sponsored by the Franks Clan Association in Uniontown PA. The reprint will be a profitless endeavor, and this new "edition" will also include a much-needed everyname index. We have also included a new "foreword" which briefly addresses some of the issues of inaccuracies/omissions in the original book. Cost of the reprint will be finalized after the book has finished being retyped and indexed. It is also dependent to some degree on the number of books printed. We are interested in hearing from anyone who might be interested in a copy of the book so that a rough estimate of the needed copies can be made. Please contact me at sflein@aol.com if you have any questions on the reprint, or if you may be interested in a copy of the book. Thanks! Susan Franks Leininger
