And finally ... the last word of my subscribers:
...
the book of the Hardcastles is an important addition to our reference library...
(Nidderdale Museum, Pateley Bridge, England)
... so much information
on the history and origin of the Hardcastle Family throughout time. It's like a
personal, guided tour to nearly all the countries in the world, taking one from
England to America to Australia and back. You "introduce" us to many members of
this large family, telling us of their adventures and struggles as they lived
throughout the ages. Splendid job, Mike, and thank you soooo much ...
(Frances Misiaszek, Connecticut, U.S.A.)
... first let me say
not only did I find the content very interesting and informative but what comes
through in abundance is your thoroughness and tenacity in completing what is a
must be an absolute boon for any person with family links to the Hardcastle
family. It is a model for other one-name genealogists to follow. I quickly
came to the conclusion that it is a book which must be used ...
(Peter John Scott, Leeds, England)
... I am really
enjoying your book, and so is my 15 year old daughter, who can't put it down.
I am particularly impressed with the amount of research you performed in writing
it,
and all the graphics and illustrations ...
(Tom Hardcastle, Virginia, U.S.A.)
... we are delighted
to add your book to our collection ... thank you very much ...
(Godfrey Memorial Library, Connecticut, U.S.A.)
... thank you very
much for your beautifully presented book and CD ...
(The Guild of One-Name Studies, England)
...
when I found our line of
Hardcastles in your book, I cried ... I can never thank you enough for all your
hard work and love that you put forth for this book ... we thought we were lost
in the world and you opened a whole new History of Hardcastles for us ... we
love you and pray you will continue to be the great person I have learned to
love ...
(Bonnie Dixon, Idaho, U.S.A.)
