Pigg Cousin Jan, I have some knowledge of all the principle families that
settled in S. E. Kentucky. Of all these families, one of the most
interesting, genealogically, is the Pigg family and this is not because my
mother was a Pigg, I can get just as involved in a good search of an
interesting family reguardless of whether I am kin or not.

That one issue of The Pigg Family Newsletter, which I so ambitionly
started in 1985 asks for $3.00. THE SUGAR POND AND THE FRITTER TREE is
$12.50 plus Ky. sales tax where applicable. However I only have 6 copies
left for sale. However, I shall print a pamplet of all Pigg stories which
should cost about $5.00 Would you want the first copy of that printing?
