Someone recently ordered the Edward Coffey DVD believing it to be a video DVD. It is in fact a data DVD containing 4000+ pages of descendants, beginning with Edward and coming forward to the modern era. It will not play in a DVD player attached to your TV. It is designed to be played and displayed as a website on a computer.
This misunderstanding resulted in that person asking for a refund. Normally, I do not offer refunds for this reason: I have no way of knowing that the person making the order did not make a copy of the DVD then ask for a refund. In this case, I offered a refund minus the cost of postage and materials.
Be sure you know what you are ordering! In the future I will not make refunds.
The Edward Coffey Project is my effort to accurately compile the descendants of Edward and Ann Powell Coffey. I rely on my own original research as well as that of trusted Coffey researchers that I know. Chief among those is Dr. Marvin Coffey (dec'd) whose well documented book and supplement (both out of print) about his ancestor, James Bluford Coffey - takes us back to Edward and Ann and cites many original sources that he personally viewed.
A DVD containing all project research, including photos and other documents thus far found can be ordered by clicking on the Pay Pal button found on the right side of each blog.
You do not have to be a member of Pay Pal to use the service.
If you prefer, you can order by check by e-mailing me for my mailing address. You can find that on any blog page.

| This is the first screen you will see. |
When the DVD auto-starts (If it doesn't then auto-start is disabled on your computer and you will have to enable it before you can begin.) you will be given a webpage view with several options:
Descendants of Edward Coffey
Surnames - A list of all surnames on this site
Names - A list of all names on this site
Sources - A list of all sources on this site
They are pretty much self-explanatory and are followed by a link to the Coffey Cousins' Clearinghouse website and, one to the Coffee/Coffey Call blog, which I edit. I often post updates to my research there.
If you click on Descendants of Edward Coffey you will be taken to the very first page where you will find information about Edward and his wife Ann Powell as well as their known children. Links to following pages are highlighted. Clicking on his son John, for example, will take you to his family where similar links will take you to his children, their children, etc.
If a picture of an individual is included, you will see a small camera icon. By clicking on that icon another page will open displaying the photograph.
The superscript numbers you will see are also active links. They represent the source where the fact (e.g., death, birth, marriage, etc) was found. Clicking on that number will take you to the page where that source is defined. If it tells you that a headstone, death certificate, etc. was the source, you will most likely find that photograph or document on the DVD. To view it, you will have to use your file browser to locate and view the file. This is done by double clicking on the file name. Unfortunately, this particular genealogy software does not allow me to place a direct link to anything other than photos of individuals within the dialogue about that person.
