National Aldrich Association News

August 20, 1999

The big news of the day is that we have started to make copies of the Ralph and Pearl Genealogy. If you do not know what this is please click here.

This Genealogy contains 3000 pages of "raw" family information which has never been published. The National Aldrich Association at their last meeting voted to ask members for donations so we could pay for the copying. While we received some donations from members we are still looking for donations. One member has generously offered to pay for the copying of a complete set of documents to be submitted to the NEHGS in Boston, MA.

We received this set of files from Robert Aldrich, son of Ralph and Pearl in 1995. It has been a continuing problem for us to decide how to get additional copies made. At least now we will have more then one copy in case the original should be lost.
