I purchased his CD of DOZENS OF COUSINS.
This CD has many, many families on it. I print out the
families that I research most. The Lewis family took
203 sheets of 8-1/2 X 11 paper (one side) to get all
the information under Lewis.
By the way, in case anyone wants to know, the price of the CD is $20.
This is not an ad for Mr. O'Connor. I usually want to know where
information is available and the cost of it, and I thought some of you
may want to also.
