I did a book last year, but I simply wrote it myself, in kind of a story form, and I included some documents within the body of the book and put others in an appendix. I also included some family group sheets with source information in the appendix. I'm not familiar with RootsMagic (although I will look at it), but my experience in dealing with family members who had the idea that "genealogy is dull" required I make something they could read more like a novel. The people who have a copy are quite happy with it, especially the family members who were convinced they weren't at all interested. Based on my experience, I'd suggest you think about your intended audience as you're trying to decide on format. A diehard genealogist will have more patience for all that data we love to collect than will many family members who simply want to know who their ancestors are and where they came from.

On County Road 1 , near the entrance to the old Riverside Club , there is a very old cemetery, anyone know the correct name for this ?                                                                                                     Ernie Wright

It should come our late this month. there is no charge, because any query about a Lawrence County family can be of use to our members.

I do not have a maiden name for the bride. Also I need a lookup for a 2nd marriage for this same William Lunsford to a Martha (Day.) Martha may have been married previously as well so any WM Lunsford married to a Martha after 1838 could potentially be the correct marriage????? The ONLY record I have found that supports this "theory" is the marriage records of their 2 sons, William Jr and Andrew. Both of the sons were born between 1835 & 1838 in Lawrence Co, OH. They were both married in the mid 1800s in Wayne Co, WV. At the time of their marriages, BOTH brothers listed their parents thus; Wm and L Lunsford. No given name for their mother, just the letter L, BUT in the margin of Andrew's record is the notation LUCINDA. I have checked all appropriate census records for the periods, but as family names were not included until 1850 records that has been to no avail. I have never been able to find an online marriage record for a William Lunsford and anyone with the name beginning with the letter L. I also have been unable to find a marriage record for what may have been a SECOND marriage for William Lunsford Sr and a MARTHA DAY..I think this 2nd marriage exists for the following reasons. On the DEATH record of William Lunsford JR (in Lawrence Co, OH) she is listed as his mother..but the person giving that info was a full generation later, so they may not have known that she was his stepmother and not his biological mother. As there were only 2 children as a result of the marriage of William Lunsford Sr and this "L" (possibly Lucinda) I also cannot reconcile that she may not have died prior to any other children resulting. Of course I do NOT know exactly when this 2nd marriage may have taken place, but it would have to have been PRIOR to the death of William Sr, and certainly BEFORE the death of William Jr in 1915. I am guessing that the 2nd marriage of William Sr would have taken place between 1839 and 1860 . This is based on the timeframes of the marriages of both sons and the births of their first children. I think if their biological mother had lived until her grandchildren had been born that there would have been later family knowledge of her????? So many QUESTIONS still open, with no marriage records, birth records, or census records available to me in GA, this marriage lookup becomes one of the best avenues of potential leads. So if someone out there has access to marriage records of this timeframe and will do a lookup, I would be so grateful. This would help clear up a major brick wall in the search for info on my GGG-Grandparents, William and L Lunsford. Even if I can find a record that shows that Martha Day and William Lunsford were not married UNTIL AFTER the births of Andrew & William JR, that would clear up that she WAS NOT their biological mother as well.
