I would be very interested in the title and source of this CD. You see, I
am, among other things, a genealogist, and it this is what I think it is, it
is long out of print documentary materials on early colonial history. It
should have a great deal of materials from the French and Indian Wars, with
which my family was deeply involved. (They were French/Canadians).
Please reply off list if appropriate
