Kellam Book Update New information has been sent, quite a bit. A gift of both 1880 and 1900 NY and PA census soundex rolls, has occurred, these will supply some missing pieces (or add new puzzles). Information from varying kin of this generation has yet to come in-----one of the cousins mentioned in the packet received yesterday--"procrastination--and time got away." Happens-- been there, wore out that T-shirt myself. :-) My printer got bogged down in the Holiday rush with one machine down, pushing everyone back. End result: My new date with the printer is 26 January, with a 2 week turn around . (the photos are coming along nicely--they'll be ready in advance for the limited edition). Mailed directly after I pick them up. (padded envelopes addressed/stamped ready to "go." Cut off date for this Vol. I is 15 January 2001. If your updated/new info hasn't hit my desk by then, sorry---Vol. II will carry add ons, corrections. If this isn't satisfactory, please let me know, I'll refund your check. It has been so GREAT to be in touch with new cousins, lost cousins, play catch up. The enthusiasm and support have meant a LOT. My at home and away from home kids said, "We have enough in this state alone to have a mini reunion! Between Kellam, Hopkins/Noble descendants, we sure do. Even turned up an Elijah George Desc. on the NC Beach area, who sharedher entire line and work. (One more hurricane, she may head back to PA.) If you have anything to add to your last communique, found someone who "belongs," ----figured Dec. was too late--nope - reprieve all the way around. Good thing I've developed patience in the past 20 years----my first dealings with printers was a life lesson. :-) Everyone wants to do a manuscript from a disk--I want the printed and proofed, on paper, version run. Then I KNOW the index and the pages match, the photos go where planned. Supposedly. Maybe. Weeeeeeellllllllllll -- (best laid, and all that) Later, and, to those I may not be in touch with until 2001, Happy Holidays, stay safe, together with those who mean the most to you.
