This second edition of the Selover - Slover Family History is the result of more than thirty years of research and included in it are the records in the first (1941) edition with corrections and additions.Most of the unplaced records of that book have been placed but others have been found to take their places !!Instead of putting them in a separate section these "problem" records have been included where they seem to belong, hoping further work will prove them either correct or incorrect.
A supplement has been added on pages 459-463 for those records received too late to be included in their proper places.
It will be noticed that in quite a few old Bible records, where a complete list of the children with their birthdates has been given, that only one line has been brought to-date, - the line of the present owner of the Bible.Unfortunately, there are many, many, many people who did not reply to my queries and surely a large proportion could have been traced back to those children in the Bible records.
It has been suggested that this research continue and I shall be glad to receive additional data to be kept in notebooks and made available to anyone who might with to put out a later and more complete record.
Newspaper clippings, old and new, copies of old letters, Bible records will be greatly appreciated.My present address is 5917 Myrtle Ave., Long Beach, California, 90805, but I can always be reached at Bisbee, North Dakota.
Ihope you enjoy this book as much as I have in putting it together.
