Manuscript Notes

While I've known for quite some time that what started as a single book idea had turned into a series, the immensity of my research is somewhat overwhelming.  In order to bring some focus and clarity, I must decide how to break thes lines out into family groups or areas.  The first book clearly will be on the Tennessee branch and will be followed with separate manuscripts on extended, related lines.  Some of these lines date back to 0600 and, accordingly, will require a volume unto themselves.  Once the new office is set up, I'll begin to separate and organize the research documentation into family lines based on area.  This task is enormous, yet I feel as though it is my life's work and, therefore, must be accomplished.
