Chivlare - Foloway Family

Just spoke again with Mark Wilkins in Tennessee, it appears that this family history book that is being prepared will be available after the 1st of the year in a CD format. I asked him to let me know what he finds out.

The person who is putting it together is stressing that there are strong Native American ties in the Foloway line and Mark was talking about even money being owed to the family. I hope for his sake that it is not a scam.
