Genealogy.com is running a 14-day *free* trial of their "Family History Library." They demand a charge card, and if you have any sense, you'll cancel on the 13th day to avoid arguments. I mention this because one of the books available in this is "Avery, Clara Arlette, The Averell-Averill-Avery family : a record of the descendants of William and Abigail Averell of Ipswich, Mass. United States: unknown, 190-?, 1135 pgs " This is the family that was involved in the witch trials, and if it's your family, you must take a look. She took the line back to Europe, and the book is heavily footnoted, too. The publication date must have been after 1906, because there's a 1906 quote on the title page, but my guess from the typeface is that it wasn't much after. I don't enjoy genealogy.com because their site is so clumsy and expensive. For instance, if you sign up for this, you'll need to fish out your name and password from an email they'll send you. (If you have an existing account, these may be the same as your existing name and password). Then, existing account or not, you'll have to log off and log back in, being sure to use the "My Genealogy.com" button near the top of the page, and after clicking on that to make the pulldown menu appear, then go to the "My data subscriptions." It is a pain in the tush, especially since you may be tricked to logging on when on the home page, which will not get you where you want to go. So caveat emptor! But I thought all you Avery-Averills would want to know.
