This is a small electronic
publishing company owned and operated by Patricia Mullaney. We will be periodically releasing genealogies,
family histories and material related to genealogical and historical
research.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
PLEASE
NOTE THAT THERE IS NO LONGER MEDIA MAIL OVERSEAS.
SHIPPING PRICES
FOR BOOKS GOING OVERSEAS WILL BE CONSIDERABLE HIGHER THAN THE
SHIPPING PRICE QUOTED FOR THE USA. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU ARE INTERESTED
IN BUYING A BOOK AND WANT IT SHIPPED OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES.
Publishing Format: All our books are published in the
Adobe Acrobat format. They are all cross-platform Mac/PC and will run on either a Macintosh
or PC system.
Shipping: We ship media mail. Delivery should
normally take 3-4 days or less.
Cookies: There are no
cookies on our site. We do not
track people who visit this web site. We do not
for any reason sell, trade or give away any information given
to us when placing an order.
Credit Cards: Because we are a small company we
are using PayPal to handle credit card orders over
the internet. We also take orders via snail mail. PayPal will not share
information with a third party.
Links on our site:
We have put a few pages
of links on this site that may be helpful mainly to people doing
genealogical and historical research. We are not trying to compete
with websites that have thousands of links. We are just giving
people who may be just starting to do research a place to start.
Book searches: We have put up a page of book links. If you are
looking for an out-of-print book you may find it there. If you
email us we won't be able to give you any more help than you
will find on the book links page. Sorry.
E-Mail: We try to respond to all the mail we
receive. If you see something on these pages that you really
like, if you have a complaint or a suggestion - we would like
to hear from you. Please feel free to contact us by e-mail anytime.
Publishing Your Book: We only publish our own books. In the book links
you might find someone who can publish your book or find some
help to find someone who will publish it. Sorry.
E-WW2DOC is in imprint of E-Booksgen and has a book and
a web site centered around WW II.
Logos at bottom of
pages: They are at
the bottom of the pages because some people arrived here from
one of those sites and the links were included to make it easier
to go back to the site you were originally on if it was one of
ours.
SOME
ADVANTAGES TO ELECTRONIC BOOKS
Availability: Some
important genealogies and historical books that were published
100 years ago or more are no longer in print. They can only be
obtained through a rare book dealer at great expense. Some books
that have been republished are again out of print. If a book
is published electronically it can be obtained at any time for
about the same cost as when it was originally released on disk.
It is not necessary to run off 10,000 copies. One copy can be
reproduced in a short amount of time - any time. Also known as
POD or Print On Demand.
Convenience: Many
of the genealogies and other material used for reference work
were not indexed at the time of their publication or only had
a limited index. The
Descendants of David Evans
is one of these books. If you are looking for a particular date
or place or event in our books you can search the text to find
what you are looking for without having to do a manual search
which is required with a "hard copy."
Storage: Less
space is required to store a computer disk than a book. Backups
can be made of a disk. You do not have to worry about acid leak,
pages disintegrating, foxing or discoloration and myriad other
problems connected with aging books written on paper.
Printing: If
you wish a printed copy of certain parts of an electronic book
you can print out just the information you are interested in
or the entire book can be printed out if that is desired.
Print Size: For people who have problems reading
small text, the text in our electronic books can be enlarged
in Acrobat for easier reading.
Adobe
Acrobat Reader can
be downloaded over the internet for free at this link. It is
furnished free with your order and is available in both PC and
Macintosh format. If you visit Adobe's site you will find downloads
for other formats as well.
Dates Old Style/New
Style:
The Gregorian calendar
instituted by Pope Gregory abolished the ancient Julian calendar
because of its error of one day in every 128 years had moved
the vernal equinox to March 11. Gregory restored the vernal equinox
to March 21. The British government imposed the Gregorian calendar
on all its possessions, including the American colonies, in 1752.
The British decreed that the day following Sept. 2, 1752, should
be called Sept. 14, a loss of 11 days. All dates preceding were
marked O.S., for Old Style. In addition, New Year's Day was moved
to Jan. 1 from Mar. 25 (under the old reckoning, Mar. 24, 1700,
had been followed by Mar. 25, 1701). George Washington's birth
date, which was Feb. 11, 1731, O.S., became Feb. 22, 1732, New
Style (N.S.).
