Why Are There Two Editions?

In publishing these back issues on the web in PDF format, I have converted them from WordPerfect to FrameMaker format. There is nothing inherently wrong with WordPerfect. It was Elaine Gidden’s "tool-of-choice" for producing these. FrameMaker is merely my "tool-of-choice." This effort began in Jan 1999 and was completed in Dec 2003. I spent most of my time with reformatting and polishing the indices, but this also included: I periodically publish various indices of back issues on an on-going basis to facilitate the use of the volumes for research purposes. These include both names and locales. I have as of Jan 2006, published the five of these:

The Andrea Papers

This is the transcript of a manuscript by Leonardo Andrea. He was a researcher who specialized in several early South Carolina families, among them the Franklins. This research was assembled as a manuscript that was originally written in 1950. The first edition of this manuscript, as distributed by Elaine Giddens, was published between 1995 and 1996. FFRU members received it with their regular newsletter subscription. It came in 6 parts and consisted of about 173 pages. I have reformatted, re-indexed and republished it as a single document of 114 pages.

This manuscript is a somewhat random collection of will and deed abstracts, research notes and various correspondence. Refer to its Table of Contents for more details about the contents of this work.
