I tracked down the Irish Rudd Family book. Sadly, Norman Rudd, the author died last November, but the books are still available from Vernon Rudd, who is the treasurer of the "Rudd Family Research Assoc." His e-mail is: RuddVT@aol.com, the phone # is 909-672-0622, and the price I was given is $20. I am ordering one of these books, so as soon as I get it I'll be sure to pass along any info that might pertain to the lines being researched here. Regards, Van Rudd Ann Arbor, MI
