There are a few Byfield genealogies that I have found in various lists but have never had a chance to look at myself. I am pretty sure the authors are no longer living but I would love to talk to their families about making copies of their work more widely available to researchers. If I could get copies I would be happy to make them available as electronic documents (PDF files) and/or as reprints of the original work.
If anyone can help me with copies of these I would be very grateful. I would be glad to cover expenses for copying, scanning, and such. Send me a note!
The first book is called "Byfields" and was compiled by Hallie Opal Newberry Townley in 1989. I know that the Llano County Library in Texas has a copy and that the Jennings County Library in Indiana has one. Also there is supposed to be a copy at the Idaho State Historical Society.
Immogene Wilson put together several volumes of Byfield information. The only place I see these volumes listed is at the Llano County Library in Texas.
Immogene Wilson also collaborated with Marineal Yarborough Nickolaus and Judy Wilson Miller on a 30 page work called "The Byfield ancestral tree, bough and branches" that I only find listed at the Idaho State Historical Society Archives.
I'm sure there must be other copies of these works but they aren't listed in the places I've looked.
If you know where to find copies of these works or can help me to get hold of them, please send me a note. My e-mail is byfieldbook@gmail.com or you can use the links on the right side of the page to send me a message.
