Hearl and Others, If any of you subscribe to a weekly newspaper called "Antique Week", about a year or so ago, Mr. Heisey, who write on genealogy, made comments about receiving letters concerning books on your family name. If I can find that issue, I'll post the info. But, I, and severa people, responded to his article. He printed my letter. What this boils down to is---ignore any letters you get like that (enclosed will be their family picture that's been used for years). They make it sound like you are getting all kinds of research material on your clan. As Mr. Hearl said, it's a list of names taken probably from phone books in the US. I must point out though, someone did find the book useful in trying to find other relatives, still living, with the same name. My twocents worth! Might I add: If any of you are descendants of Levi Carmack, b. 12/9/1791, VA, and Elizabeth 'Betty' Peters, I am working on a "Carmack Cousins Reunion" that will be held in Berea, Ky, at Boone Tavern Hotel on April 17, 1999. Get in touch with me and I'll send you the announcement. Pat O'Neal
