They are a normal size paper folded in half, written on front and back, two
sheets per newsletter. The print is for the most part, small, some have
photos and or drawings.

They were published in Lima, OH, believe a library in DE has copies,
probably Wilmington. I'm pretty sure I was told they are on microfilm.
They began early 1940's and were published until around 1965 however quite
sporadic in the last ten years. I do not have a complete set as I can't
find the ends of some of the articles.

Because they believed in all Garretsons being part of the "family" articles
cover DE, NJ, NY and MD Garretson origins. However, most who subscribed
were those from DE ancestors, and most of the articles are focused on DE
Garretsons .

The problem with them is that many stories begin in one, and continue in
another, another. I made copies then cut the copies to attempt to get the
full stories together. Many of the biographies I began posting on
Gen-Connect, which can now be found on Ancestry. The main reason I quit
was because many of the bios are not " Garretson", but decended from and the
list had the rule that they must have the Garretson name.

Linda Harney has some I sent her and has made the generous offer to share.
As for getting them on-line, is there someone willing to take this task on?
After the holidays and after I get well from this rotten cold/flu, will be
happy to work with someone to accomplish this. Faith
