    About the CD:
    This CD provides the genealogist the opportunity to have access to information from a book that is difficult to locate in the used book market.   The CD was made by scanning an original copy of the book.  Any defect such as notes in the margin or light text will also appear in the CD version.  The CD requires  Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the file.  When viewing on your screen the page size can be increased to make reading easier.  This CD is searchable and has a series of bookmarks making navigation through the file easier.  The CD is packaged in a protective sleeve.
