Jennine: You can't send attachments to any rootsweb list. BUT, we would love to have the information. Could you tell us something about the books, maybe we have seen them elsewhere. Something like titles, date of publication, are they commercial, or privately published works. Maybe some brief description of the information they contain. We appreciate your willingness to share. Dennis West Coordinator for WEST surname project http://web.utk.edu/~corn/westdna/ I found some great info in some old books at the Family History center and at the Los Angeles Downtown Library. Can I scan and post that stuff. Very old books..... Jeannine
