The book "Descendants of Richard and Mary Sisson: Ten Generations from 1608" was published by Joan and Dave Sisson of Livermore, California, in 1999. Now a supplementary second volume is available! The first book was 800 pages and included references to more than 600 sources. The second volume, "Descendants of Richard and Mary Sisson - Updates", includes 193 pages of additions and corrections, and is indexed and includes additional references. It is perfect bound, and sized to match the first volume. For information on ordering these volumes (the first is still available), go to: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~dasisson/book.htm Please check back just before you order, as updated shipping charges will be posted from time to time as needed. Joan and Dave use an unusual grid style to display each family group. This grid allows you to visually scan the groups very quickly. Let's say, for example, you need to find a George Sisson whose wife's name was Mary, and who had a son Jonathan. The grid style allows you to scan almost as fast as you can flip pages, without having to read dense text to find such combinations. Even if you already know your line, the book can be very useful, particularly regarding sources. You can find out what the sources are, and look them up yourself at your local genealogical library section or LDS Family History Center, for the original texts and/or handwriting. When I first got the book in 1999, I read not only my own line, but the closest neighboring lines of my cousins. Through clues given there, that no one else would have noticed, I was led to further research, and ended up finding out that my great-grandparents were second cousins, and I had a second line. This wouldn't happen for everyone, but it was a nice bonus. Hope you're all having a great, relaxing summer!
