I'll pass this along to Richard Beil, who is trying to get more information on his BOOKS ancestors. My only connection with the BOOKS is the data I put into my cemetery inscriptions, then tying them together here in Londonderry Township, Dauphin County, PA. I had a brief record of Private Jacob Books, who somehow died in the Civil War in Louisville, Kentucky (1862) by one of his own men as the result of an accident of some kind. Think I'll follow up on that story, since it may prove interesting. BOOKS family researcher "Richard Beil" <beilfamely@home.com may be interested in more of your family tree.
