Prichard, Pritchard, Hughes, Sharp, Graves, Loy, Goins, Berry, Barton, Researchers

Question

Hello Cousins,

I need some suggestions on how to go about getting out the message about several out of print books I have found online for people who are researching Prichard, Pritchard, Hughes, Sharp, Owsley, Hoffman, Stevens, Hall, Morgan, Black and Graves (and many  other surnames linked to these families.) A couple of books address early immigrants from Wales with the Prichard lines and Germany from many of the other lines. Some cover SAR information.

I also need to know if there is a way I can upload these PDF files of these book for researchers on WikiTree other than sending them to people one at a time via email. (I am willing to do that but don't know how to do the cloud thing so I have to send them out in several emails to each person because of their size. Some contain copies of documents, some photographs. They also contain tree branches and as told to stories.

Careful study of these books could link hundreds of profiles already on WikiTree and provide information for adding missing people in between lines and is too big a job for only one person.

I am happy to send PDF copies of these books if people will contact me via my profile Shoff-7 but it will take some time for me to answer if I get an onslaught of requests. They will need to say they want the Pri(t)chard, Hughes, Sharp, Graves books in their message to me. These books contain migrations of groups of families from the eastern coast, down to southern states into Ohio, Virginia, Tennessee, Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, Kansas, Arkansas and into Indian Territory (now Oklahoma). I need more tags for all of the surnames in these books.

I also look forward to hearing ideas about an easier solution than sending them out than one at a time.

Comments

Barbara, if you found these out-of-print books online, would it be feasible to just provide links to the online locations that others could follow, rather than providing full .pdf copies?  If the books are behind a pay wall, or require some type of subscription or membership to access, I think you would need to be careful about copying and disseminating or re-posting content on another site.  You could be violating the terms of service of the source site by doing that.  If the books are generally available to all, I know there are some other free-space pages here that have links to such sources, although I can't seem to put my finger on one at the moment.

FYI, here's the page that was crossing my mind at the time I commented:

Barbara-I would love files for Hughes.

I would love anything that references Goins Jones or Harmons of SE Kentucky, northern TENN.  Or mother's family Longs and Brookshire.
