Edward Coffey Project CD Update

The CD that I have been sending to those who order it have contained photos of people and some documents, and requires only one CD.

Today, I learned to my dissatisfaction, in order to include ALL photos, documents, etc. requires a minimum of three CDs. The simple solution for this would be for me to invest in a CD/DVD Read/Write drive, and a stack of blank DVD R/W disks.

Since that won't happen in the near future*, I will continue to send the usual single CD that will contain all facts, sources and photographs of families and/or individuals that I have assembled.

Should someone desire the complete file - in the form of a "shareable CD" created by my genealogy program (Roots Magic) and contained on at least 3 CDs, the cost will increase. There are a few ways that I can send the data on CD, so contact me via the e-mail address above for more details. One method considered requires someone to send me a 2GB thumb drive which I will fill up and return.

A button has been added on the right side of the blog for purchasers to use their Visa, etc., cards to buy the CD. The payment goes through my account with Pay Pal, and is safe and secure.

Disclaimer: I do not work for Roots Magic and do not receive any compensation from them. I simply like the software and often recommend it to anyone looking to buy a genealogy software package.

*If any of my children are reading this, a RW/DVD CD Rom for my laptop would make a great Father's Day gift!

The Edward Coffey Project (Update 2)

This project is active again on the Coffey Cousins' website.

I have not included photographs or sources in this upload. Rather than ask for a CD, a few "researchers" have been spending hours downloading thousands of pages. They are not only stealing my work, and the work of those that have contributed to the project, but are also monopolizing my server, effectively denying access to others. I am certain that they will continue to download the file, but at least it will not take them hours to do it because they will not be able to download the documentation.

A CD containing all of the information that I have compiled on Edward and his descendants is available. The CD will include photographs, obituaries, complete source citations (when available), and other family and/or individual facts. It represents several years of personal research plus the time and effort of everyone who has contributed their family information to assure an accurate as possible picture of the family.

Besides 7000+ Coffeys, the compilation contains such surnames Campbell, Dalton, Fitzgerald, Gragg, Hayes, Wolfe, Shockley, and others. The CD will also now contain the descendants of Jordan Coffey.

I have attempted to remove everyone from the CD who was born after 1930 and for whom I have no death information. Please contact me ASAP should you find yourself, or your immediate family (father, mother, siblings, spouses and their children) in this compilation, and would like to have them removed.

The CD is free. I now charge $10.00 for postage and materials. It can be ordered from me, Jack Coffee, 110 Lydia Road, St. Joseph, LA 71366. CDs are burned when an order is received thereby assuring every CD is the most up to date available.
