Hi Tom & List,
The great value of the book is in the people it tracks.
After getting the MFIP(Bradford), I have discovered the
dates in the book "Welcome Englishmen" are not always
reliable. But it is a fantastic book for reference as to
finding your ancestors. One of the problems I had with the
book was that each chart takes up two regular book pages
making an 11 x 17 chart. Very few home scanners will scan
that large.
I think Tom has made a great offer to those who may have
some brick walls.
Thanks Tom

>Hello list,
> I temporarily (10 days) have in my possession a book
called "Welcome Englishmen" , A 330 year history of the
Bradford Family, edited by Ellery Taylor, published in 1951.
Harold Williams told me (and the list) about this book in
the Dallas library as he lives near there. The Dallas
library lists this book as reference only and is not for
circulation. When I asked the Phoenix library to acquire
this on an inter-library loan, I fully expected to only read
it at the library. I covered my shock when the librarian
(probably a volunteer) said to return it by the date on the
card.

lineage charts, each going back to Gov. Bradford on the
Mayflower.
> I would especially like to find someone in the
Phoenix, AZ area with a scanner to be able to put this
entire book on the Bradford website. Harold Williams
(thanks again) will testify as to the value of this
particular book.
