Glad to hear it is a good book, thought it would be. And sounds like something I can use. I ordered mine from Sistler in TN. They have a lot of stuff I have found very well worth the money - such as index of early TN tax list, Tennessee land grants done in individual booklets by beginning letter of surname...so it does not cost an arm and a leg. They deal in TN, VA, KY, NC. Does anyone know of a good company that deals in early records - say 1740-1750 - for that area out of Philadelphia - would include Delaware, New Jersey, etc. I was looking in Maryland, but think I need to move east of Philadelphia. Since in 1752 they were in northern neck of VA, that was why I was looking in Maryland. Where did Swiss linen weavers go? Mary
