Ed and Mike, Kathleen Much was the co-author on the McCarty book. She probably knows what she is talking about here. Yes, both the NNVHS and the MBW have the book. I also a copy in my personal library that Bill gave me before he moved back to New York state (Troy, to be exact). Craig PS this email exchange also took place on the NN rootsweb list. Ed, I do wish you would join that. There are about 170 people on there, most of them at the intermediate and above level. It's a good group. That's how I met Mike in the first place.
