Words to the Wise is published quarterly, eight pages each issue, however, due to postage and costs of copying it is possible I will go to only 3 issues this year as copying costs doubled last summer at Office Depot and Office Max where I had found it cheapest to be copied. The costs is $10 per year and I hate to go up on the price. The Newsletter was started by Rachel Hayward and I took over in 1994. It was based exclusively on Adam Wise, and is still primarily for his descendants but I have broadened what I include and put in stories, queries and lineage's of other Wise lines because many of the readers have not made their connections to the Adam Wise family and they may make a connection to another one or to Adam Wise by clues from these other families. And in addition it is a way to exclude a line of research if it does not connect. Any of those reasons can help someone. I welcome queries and include as many as feasible, I welcome stories of Wise families, and current news of Adam Wise descendants. (I get very little of that!) I will be happy to send you a newsletter gratis if you think you connect to this family. The Frederick Wise of Georgia family does not connect unless in Germany before immigration, the Accomack and Maine Wise familes are English and do not connect. I have run some articles on those families in the past. I will be happy to email copies of those articles if you write and ask me at my email address of rhoese@interconnect.net. For those you want a copy of the last newsletter for a look see send me your address privately and I will send one. If you want to subscribe send me a check or money order made out to Ruth Hoese, put a note in the memo line of Words to the Wise, that is for banking ease.
