It is a soft bound volume of 164 pages that contains a lot of diligent research (before the computer era), family stories, history and background information. Several of the original publication are still floating around, although the only way you will get one is to inherit or steal it. Copied prints are available at http://www.higginsonbooks.com/a.htm at a cost of $27.00. EMERA ALTIZER Of MONTGOMERY COUNTY,VA And SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS 1736 - 1997 by Ora Belle Mayberry McColman And Others This book is over 600 pages of family lineage. It is 8.5x11 inches, ring bound listing of several hundred Altizers and their relatives and would be a great addition to your research library. I believe the price of the book is $35.00. It is available directly from Ms. McColman at: Ora Belle McColman 2123 - 10th St., NW Roanoke, VA 24012-3925 (540) 366-9142 THE ALTIZER FAMILY Sons and Daughters of The Old Dominion by William E. Payne & Berdine E. Warden Payne This book would be a beautiful addition to anyone's library. It is 8½ x 11 inches, and offset printed on 60 pound acid free paper. It contains over 740 pages including 83 half-tone photographs, an index, and a bibliography. It has a hard binding in a deep green color, with gold foil letters stamped on the front and spine, and the spine is over sewn for sturdiness. Do not be deceived by the title. It is not just about the Altizer families that lived in Virginia. Bill has researched all branches of the Emera Altizer family and their descendants and compiled as much information about each branch as could be located, regardless of where they lived.
