NOTE: It amazes me the many
ways in which our genealogy information is used. I recently received an
email letting me know that the 1936 South High School senior high pictures on
our genweb site had been useful to this person. He hadn't been able to
find a photo of this young lady. It seems that she had been murdered in
1938 in Grand Rapids and the story had been in the
November issue of True Detective. Now her death is going to be
included in a film that is being done.
I'm finally finished writing my Gates book! It's approximately 550 pages, so
I won't be printing any copies to send out. I am, however, making CDs
available. The book will be in Microsoft Word format. Eventually I hope to
have my son make .pdf files and put it online, but that could be awhile, as
he has a busy life. The majority of the Gates families are in St. Lawrence
and Jefferson Counties, New York, with some in Ottawa, Kent and Newaygo
Counties in Michigan, some in South Dakota and Iowa. Other major surnames
covered in the book are Hunt, Lawton, Ormsbee, Rhubart, Sampson and Whitford.
If you're interested in having me send you a CD, please send your address
and a check for $10 to cover postage and the cost of burning the CDs to:
