Gary, I posted from the ancestry board and I see it is there with my signature. I am not quite clear on how these posts get to the list so maybe that is where it got dropped. I was not advertising the book, but I had referred to it to a few people and said I was trying to find my notes about it. Came across them filing today and did not want to forget. I haven't yet bought the cd since I only now found the notes, so I cannot say how good it is, but it appeared to be a good resource. If you have a better resource, by all means use it. I got the idea both from the bulletin board and the fact that his other books deal with New Brunswick, CAN, that it focussed on the SHAW's there, with background info on their roots in the US, etc. Hard to tell from what I scribbled who Christopher Shaw is--when/if I find out I will let you know. My Shaws are mostly in ME and I was researching other families at the PANB, so just jotted this source down for future reference and didn't look into it while I was up there, time being short I wanted to only look at what I couldn't see later elsewhere.
