Because of your obvious interest in history & genealogy, I thought you might be interested in learning about a new resource. "Pathfinders, Pioneers, & Patriots", is a Historical CD that shadows the early explorers to "the New World" then follows the progression of the frontier across Virginia to 1800. >From 1760 to 1800, it primarily focuses on the largely untold history of S.W. Virginia, E. Kentucky, and N. E. Tennessee (including many, many Sur-Names) Additional info. can be found on my website at: http://www.mounet.com/~echo/ppp.htm It was completed in a MS- Word '97 Format which allows the user to literally "point and click" their way through history. It also contains a MS-Word Viewer for those without a compatible word processor. (It will run on virtually any computer.) It contains a historical timeline of over 30 pages with hyper-links to over 100 pages of the stories about the people and events listed (along with many original color pictures, lists of participants in various historical events, and other primary documents). Those interested in history or genealogy are responding very well to the C.D.
