>I wrote. Many of the records listed have a corresponding abstract or

>This book is my attempt to assemble what I have learned about the earliest

>A Heard Family Record-Based History has 1039 pages and is a hard-cover 8

>x 11" book. It has been published by Gateway Press. The price is $70.00.
>This is the amount it cost me to publish and ship the book. I am making no
