The real person to thank for the NCA abstracts is Laurel Baty of Maryland. Back when Jonathan had eight NCA volumes, Laurel agreed to scan two them. Laurel ended up scanning all 23 volumes. Because Laurel and others were interested in them, Jonathan Smith compiled more. About all I have done on the NCA volumes is take Laurel's Word files and make HTML files and set up the tables for the surname indices. David
