Hi, All.

Happy Easter! You all get up much earlier than I do and/or are further
East <g>. And so energetic <VBG>.

Bonnie, I am the other one who was typing in Harry's book.... and I did
finish. Took me about two months...that's why my family originally decided
I was obsessive about the genealogy. And it's what I have been using to
create the web pages.

However, I have added to it (I have just finished entering the supplement
that Maida sent to me. That one was easy, only twenty pages.), corrected
info when I could, and may have made some typos of my own, as I had no one
to proof it. I also have my other lines in the same database, although I
think I can create a gedcom that starts with John Horsington and includes
only his descendants.

I have a couple of lines duplicated, so I have to do some cleanup, but I
would be willing to do that and upload it to the Hoisington Web Site. You
could download it from there. It's quite large (about 5M) and I don't know
if I could divide it into smaller segments, so you would have to make sure
that your e-mail storage can accept it. I would certainly appreciate
having proofreaders!

I can't offer to print it out because I'm sure it's several hundred pages
by now, I have a slow printer, and it costs 50 cents a page at Kinko's to
print material out.

I also can't send it by disk....it's too large for a floppy and I have a MAC.

This may not be the answer for everybody because of the size of the file,
so any comments, suggestions would be appreciated.

Harriette
