IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - BOOK REPRINT
Over the past few years, I have referenced Robert Stevensons History of
the Magee
Family in discussions/research with other family line researchers.
Robert (Bob) is 84 years
old, and during his full adult life he had the single quest of putting
down on paper his (and
our) family history. Finally, in the 60s, he published a hard back
copy of the Magee
Family History, but this History included: Magees, Appleby, Munnell,
Elder, Rose,
Friend, Wilkin, Hunter, McConnell, McCaslin, Campbell, Sharp, Roberts,
Hogue, Wilson,
Boston, Bryan, White, Waldron and McCluhan families. I have found this
book to be the
central force in my full family research.
I have given you this type of introduction, because I am happy to tell
you that Bob has
agreed to permit a second printing. The publishing company informs me
that this History
will sell for about $60.00. Bob will receive a royalty for having
authored the book.
And...I want to make it very clear, I do not receive any compensation
for the sale of any
of this History. Bob has been a great resource to me during my
research. He has hosted
my family in his home, taught me the proper methods of family research
and (he is a
cousin). I do have a selfish reason. I would like a second copy of his
works. Mine has
been shipped to 15 different states and used diligently at my end. I
hope I make it
abundantly clear that my only involvement is to increase the amount of
information we all
need to better understand and properly accept our heritage.
I will take names and addresses of interested purchasers of this
History. I will send the list
on to the publishers. They will contact those on the list with further
instructions as to
payment and delivery. Once Bob delivers the copy to the publishers, I
am told the time
line will be approximately 4/6 weeks to delivery.
I hope I have given all the necessary information. However, if any one
wishes more
information, I am willing to provide added information. Please note: I
have a copy of the
History. If you wish to learn what may or may not be your involvement
in this Family
Line, just email me. I will give you what I have.
