(OT) BRASHEARS books, 5 volumes now

Legg inn av Dolly Ziegler » 22 sep 2004 22:50:26

Hello to the list. Charles Brashear of Clearlake Oaks, Calif., several
years ago undertook an eight-volume _A BRASHEAR(S) FAMILY HISTORY_.
The Family History Library Catalog at familysearch.org indicates he's
published the first five volumes.

His email was <brashear@mail.sdsu.edu> -- do verify this if you want
more information on any of the books.

(Usual disclaimer, I have NO financial interest in these books. I don't
suppose Charles is making money on them, either.)

Cheers, Dolly in Maryland

A BRASHEAR(S) FAMILY HISTORY: Descendants of Robert and Benois Brasseur,
by Charles Brashear

I am and have been for 30-something years actively engaged in
research on the Brashear(s) Family, in all its branches, in all spellings
of the surname. Some years ago, Troy Back and Leon Brashear gave me their
blessing and permission to "update" their book, THE BRASHEAR STORY, A
FAMILY HISTORY, but the more data I collected, the more I realized that
this family history will never again fit into one volume, especially if
you include the amount and kind of detail that I like to include. I now
have working drafts of eight books on the family history; below is the
plan for these eight volumes.

Order published books from me: Charles Brashear, P.O.Box 38,
Clearlake Oaks, CA 95423-0038 (please add $3 postage and packaging (p&p)
for the first book, $1 each for each additional book sent to the same
address; CA residents add 7% sales tax). Please do not order books that
have not yet been published.

Plan for an 8-vol. "A BRASHEAR(S) FAMILY HISTORY"

Vol. 1. The First 200 Years of Brashear(s) in America and Some
Descendants in Maryland. Published in Nov 1998: xvi + 320 pp., 7"X10", $35
for hard-cover + p&p; $25 for paper-back + p&p.

Vol. 2. Robert C. Brashear of North Carolina and Some Descendants
in TN, KY, MO, TX, etc. Published 1999: 316pp., 7"X10", $35 for hard-cover
+ p&p; no paper-backs this time

Vol. 3. Robert Samuel Brashears, the "Rolling Stone," and Some
Descendants in TN and KY. Published Feb 2001, 496pp, 7"x10", $40 for
hard-cover + p&p; no paper-backs this time

Vol. 4. Brashear(s) Families of the Ohio Valley (to be Published
Summer 2001, hardcover (no paperbacks)

Vol. 5. Two Brashear(s) Families of the Lower Mississippi Valley
and their Choctaw Descendants (First draft completed, but still lots of
work to be done.)

Vol. 6. Basil Brashear and his Brashears, Breshears, Beshears,
Boshears and Other Descendants (I have a very messy, sprawling first draft
of this one; many chapters are finished, but the book needs a great deal
of work.)

Vol. 7. Brashear(s) Families West of the Mississippi River (I have
been collecting chapters for this one, but it's not very well formed yet.)

Vol. 8. Brashear(s) Family Additions, Corrections, Strays, (Plenty
of strays, plenty of non-Brashears families; the problems: how to organize
it. And who would want a copy?)
