    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/mRXBAIB/857.858.861.1 Message Board Post: Ann - I think you are referring to the Wooten and Related Families Association (WARFA) quarterlies. The association published quarterlies from March 1981 through Nov 1989. Richard C. Wooton was the genealogist, author and publisher. Also, he published nine Special Studies on the Wootens. His work was outstanding. Unfortunately, I was not a member of the assn and searched for copies for several years.I found that after Richard's death on about 1990, his heirs donated his works to East Carolina University and the works are not for loan. I am not even sure East Carolina has all the Special Studies because the papers were not organized very well at the University Library. The quarterlies comprise about 3,000 pages and the Special Studies from 200 to 300 pages each so it is a huge copying or scanning job.I obtained copies of several of the publications but the qualtity is so poor that they will not computer scan well. I think your best bet is to ask specific questions on people asking if they are shown in any of the WARFA publications. Maybe some of the old association members still have their copies or a few of them. Good Luck!! Forrest Hale
