NEWS FLASH !!
As most of you know, we have been experiencing
a problem at the state level in authorizing erection of Highway Markers for
Revolutionary War Soldiers. We have finally gotten the problem solved. For
further information, please click on the link to Revolutionary War Soldiers of
WC.
After some six or seven years, work on the Napier Family Book is nearing completion. We are now documenting the newer generations of the family. The book now contains almost 19,000 direct blood descendants of Thomas Franklin and Haney (Smith) Napier and is well over 1700 pages.
At our monthly meeting in May, a decision was made to establish a cutoff date of July1, 2008 for receiving information and photographs. At that time, we will proceed to format the book, place all the pictures within, prepare the file into PDF format and forward to the publisher for printing. We have selected a publisher, and have preliminary quotes on pricing. This book will be in hardback format, close to 1800 pages and have numerous photos. It is so large that it will have to be published in two volumes, each of approximately 900 pages, or about 2 inches thick. Updates will be placed here to keep you informed.
If you have family information, or family pictures you would like included, please contact us very soon, as time in now running out. You may email the web site or call Howard Osburn at 304-272-3443.
