Perhaps you purchased or have heard about our family history book, The Family von Nida, From Germany to America 1262-1998, that I published in the spring of this year. It contained over 10,000 related family members, fully indexed with many pictures, and a history of the areas where our ancestors lived. That 858 page book was well received and sold out within one month. Additional information was sent to me by family members who wanted to update their line. This data was added to my 22,000 Nida/Niday/Nidy family database. Additional requests for copies of the book has prompted the issue of a second printing which is now ready for shipment. This issue contains all of the first printing and is 29% larger with some fifty additional pictures, and contains 1,107 pages. Additional information includes cause of death and burial information when known,. Our family crest is now imprinted in gold on the front cover. What a wonderful Christmas present this will be and it will last for a lifetime. The supply of these books is limited at a pre-publication price of $60. postpaid. If you are interested in the origin of our family, please contact me at the address above before 01 Jan 2000 for this special price.
