This is wonderfull information Joe Buford -----Original Message----- From: Edwin "Tex" Irvin [mailto:edwirvin@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, February 01, 2008 10:00 AM To: vabedfor@rootsweb.com Subject: [VABEDFOR] Old books on Google There are many great old books digitized on Google that mention families in the old Brunswick/Lunenburg/Bedford area. You can read them in their entirety for free. They have many hundreds of books online. Forget paying ancestry.com a fortune. You can read the google books for a lifetime, for absolutely nothing. Here are just a few. There are many more. You can use the little search engine, find the index, or just scroll a page at a time. Just remember, old publications, many errors. Naturally, the ones I copied here are skewed toward my kin. But tons of other surnames are mentioned.
