John, I have home published my information to immediate family members and do have a Gen Book on CD that is actively in the works. I will tell you this, some people and relationships in my database are not proven but I am prudent to state that. I also list alternate schools of thought that have come my way so that others can research to their satisfaction and draw their own conclusions. Case in point, another researcher notified me about a 'Haywood Brooks' as son or grandson of William and Margaret (Teal) Brooks. To date I've recieved nor found nothing to collabrate that. However as I understand it, this family has their own strong reasons for their believe. Who am I to say who your grandparents are?? Anyway, yes I am very willing to share databases as two heads are better than one. I am currently packing and will be leaving late morning for a week-end getaway. I will try to get a gedcom to you by early next week and look forward to recieving yours. My FTM program is 2005 version. I normally update versions every other year.

We may have chatted some time or another but not in depth! Yours seems to be better than some of the other that I have talked too! You also haven't got anything on Elijah Brooks and I have about all that can be found on his side! I to have all of what you have but you have some that I don't have and vise versa for me! Do you have a book wrote on this side of the Brooks families? That is what I have been trying to get done but havn't had too much time since I work for the USPS and all the Hurricanes going on has made it difficult to work on the book and working 10 and 12 hours per day to help with the people that have lost all their homes! I would gladly like to compare our two Family Trees and get them all straighted out sometime if you would like too! Do you have Family Tree Maker? If so what version do you have? I have 2006 ver..
