BOOK CONTENTS AND PUBLICATION DATAWhat does the book contain and how was it published?After much research, the time came to publish my findings on the genealogy of The Descendants of Jonas Ricks and Other Ricks Families In America. This enormous project includes many surnames in Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and other southern states. The main emphasis is on Jonas Ricks, who first appeared in Rowan County, North Carolina, in 1768, and who died in Guilford County in 1821. Other genealogies include the following five partial histories of Ricks or Rooks families: Title Page:![]() First: this is a great "how to" book, as well as a documentary on the Ricks family. Second: this book will soon be in short supply. Third: this is the only advertisement at this time. The Guilford Genealogist published a review of this book in the March 1999 issue, but most advertisement is word of mouth. Not every name in this book appears in the index. It was a major task, and printing costs prevented many more pages beyond what I published. I made the book "print-ready" for the publisher, printed the pages on a good-quality HP laser printer, and sent the results off to Thomson-Shore Publishers in Michigan. They were easy to work with and completed the job to my satisfaction. I would u8se them again. See the link to their web site below. |
