I'm confused. This looks like the same book which includes an article I submitted three years ago about my 3rd gr-grandfather and his descendents, Eliab Vinson. Has this book been reprinted? Or did someone just find an old posting about the Giles Co. book? And, by the way, in spite of the claim, "every name index," the index certainly is not all inclusive. For example, while there are some Vinson names in the index, "Eliab Vinson" is not one of them, nor are several other names in the Vinson article. People looking for information can't depend on the index to tell them if those being sought are in the book. Perhaps an effort should be made to produce a true "every name index." ----- Original Message ----- From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: <TNGILES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2008 4:57 AM Subject: [TNGILES] Giles "History Book" has arrived. > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Author: Mylton99 > Surnames: all > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.tennessee.counties.giles/926.2.1.1/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > Do tell us more about this book!
