A couple of days ago I was among others who received an email notifying us of the new book. David has allowed me to publish his notice here for others as well.
"As I mentioned to you in an earlier email, I've written a second book -- Tracing the Brewers of Colonial Virginia -- that follows the history of a significant branch of the Brewer Family -- members of Haplogroup I-Y15031, subclade I-Y21524 -- from 17th century Colonial Virginia through the mid-19th century, a period for which many existing family pedigrees have been speculative or unknown.
I have attempted to bring a detailed record analysis to bear in an
effort to more accurately examine the roots of this family group. The
book hypothesizes, based on the record evidence identified to date, that
most if not all of the tested members of this
YDNA subclade - I-Y21524 - are descendants of John Brewer (I), an early
Jamestown colonist, through his son John Brewer II. As the book
explains, it is possible that most of the tested members of this family
group are descendants of John II's reputed son
Thomas Brewer, who lived in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. The book
focuses on the migratory path of this family group and their allied
families from Virginia to North Carolina, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois,
Kentucky, and Alabama, as they pushed westward
throughout the American frontier into the 19th century.
The book is meant to be used by genealogy enthusiasts of different
interest and experience levels, recognizing that we all learn from each
other as we fill in pieces of the puzzle of our common ancestry. As our
shared understanding of genetic science
continues to improve and more record evidence is available through
evolving digital research tools, further breakthroughs and corrections
are inevitable.
As with the first book, I've published the new book at
Amazon/Kindle Publishing and have set up a program where the e-book
version is free with Kindle Unlimited. In addition, the e-book will be
free to everyone between April 22 and April 26. I encourage
all of you to take advantage of that promotion. A modestly priced
paperback version of the book also is available for purchase at Amazon.
Here are links to both the paperback and e-book versions if you would
like to take a look."
As David mentions above, the book is available in two formats at Amazon.com. There is a paperback version (154 pages) and a Kindle version. And please note - I do not receive compensation from Amazon.com (or any other commercial enterprise) when directed to their site from a link on this blog.
