Books by Iona May (Ingram) Sowa

To Ingram and Phillips researchers:

As many of you may know, my mother Iona May (Ingram) Sowa, wrote several books on her ancestors.  Following her death in 1997, I obtained her original manuscripts and have occasionally provided copies (at my cost) to others. Now that I am retired, I can devote more time to genealogy, and make more copies of her books for those that want them.

All three books are available on CD, at my cost.  Below, you will find links that bring up excerpts from the books.   To view the excerpts in your browser, you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader plugin from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readermain.html

PLEASE NOTE:   I no longer sell hard copies of her books.  It got too expensive for me to print and ship individual copies of the paper versions.  However, with the pdf files on the CD you can print individual pages yourself, or can take it to any nearby office supply store (ex: Staples, Office Depot, etc) and they will print one for you.

Mom's writing style will keep you fascinated.  She was an avid history buff, and throughout the books, she discusses the events that influenced our ancestors, along with the genealogical detail.  From my preface to the book "...As one reader wrote in 1995, "I loved the way you interspersed history of the period with the goings-on of relatives."  The books is also well referenced with her sources cited throughout.  Here's an example (From Phillips Vol I)

Whichever book you buy, the CD includes two copies of the entire book, scanned from the original typewritten manuscript, in pdf format (Adobe Acrobat).   One copy includes the entire book in one 25-35 megabyte file.   The other copy includes the entire book broken into smaller files. 

Note:  I have kept prices at the same level for over 4 years.  But recent increases in PayPal fees, materials and especially postage have forced me to increase prices slightly.

Happy searching!
