Dianne said: Hi my mother wrote Evans Family 1700-1983 by Marjorie Stewart Tucker. You should have it in the library. She's gone now and the book is out of print but still very good and extremely well documented. I have it scanned already and would be happy to forward to you if interested. I would need to forward in about 4 emails as too big to send in 1 but great scans already if you can offer it as a digitized book.

Dianne said: Hi I'm not sure this answers my question, but my mother is the author. She is deceased. It was self published. She already donated a copy to the SLC FHL years ago and would have done whatever was needed at that time but it isn't digitized on FS. I have it already scanned. I am offering to send that by email so that it could be made available digitally. Let me know if that's something anyone wants. I just thought it would save a lot of time having it already scanned, then a volunteer wouldn't have to. It's Evans Family 1700-1983 by Marjorie Tucker Tucker.

Nicole Tighe said: Hi Dianne,
My name is Nicole Tighe and I'm an Evans family member. My mother was Judith Evans Brown. I've been researching our family and I like you no longer have my Mom with me to answer questions, I keep seeing your Mom's book reffered to on several ancestry links and then I found you here! I was wondering if it would be possible to get a copy to me? I would love to be able to share it with my Aunts and Uncles, cousins, ect. my email address is : nickietighe@gmail.com If you can't I'll understand but I really hope you will consider sharing what appears to an amazing job your Mother did, she's done the Evans family proud!

Thank you,
NickieT

Don M Thomas said: My Great Uncle and a lot of the old timers in Manassa & Sanford, Colorado put together a genealogy family group sheet booklet of around 300 pages. I sent a digitize copy to the Family History Library and they wrote me back stating that they could not accept the booklet because of the "Living" data. Some, (a lot), of the family group sheets were of family members still "Living."
