Dear Anne,

My interest is in the Rollows associated with the Bradshaws. I've been
searching the Bradshaw (and other connected family names) postings hoping to
find more info, since the Rollow side is not well documented, other than
J.D. Bradshaw's book. At least it's the best source I have found in over
three years of research.

I have noticed that his book does not have an IBSN number in which, of my
understanding at least, it would be registered with the National Archives.
I would like to know if anyone is pursuing to get it registered. I intend to
write Mr. Bradshaw to see if he has tried to get it registered but I'm sure
he is up in age and I am thinking that he may need assistance.
When I wrote last, in Oct 98, he said he had only 16 copies left out of
1,000.
Are you in contact with him?

I figured since I have benefited from his book, others would too and maybe
it might spur on another round of demand for his book.
So I have been looking to inform others about his book to those inquiring
about the Bradshaw/Fritter/Fant/Jett/Curtis/Rollow families.

There is a site, called Books We Own, in which people interested in
genealogy voluntarily share each others knowledge through genealogy books we
have among us. We are obligated to site the author, publisher, date and
specific information so credit is given to the authors of the books. I have
listed Mr. Bradshaw's book.

I and my relatives would appreciate any insight on our family line.
Sincerely,
Debbra Jansen

>Thank you for trying to help. I appreciate it. These people are my direct
relatives and I have their info. I was just wondering if William & Susan
had any more children as I can't seem to find a trace of them. They are not
even listed in the COMBS Family Bible. Do you have an interest in the COMBS
or BRADSHAW lines? Maybe I can help you with them.
