I just wanted to tell you that I have enjoyed your book "Alsop's Tables." It's great! It has answered some of my questions and also helped to correct some mistakes in our genealogy lines of research. I get to reading and can't put it down. We certainly would like to receive additional volumes as they are published.

Jerry Alsup is a genealogist without peer. His good nature and devotion to his craft are contagious, one might even say "Inspiring."The members of this family lineage are going to enjoy reading this author's book. It is scholarly, thorough, and yet very readable.
--Jerry W. Owen, President, Tippah Co., MS Historical and Genealogical Society
As an avid Alsop researcher and history buff, I have found the most valuable sources for information on this family are the books of Jerry Alsup. He provides the family migration patterns, history, marriages, and wonderful stories of people, and he ties them, when appropriate, with historical events. He has the unique knack of narration that makes me feel like I am actually there when family events happened.

$4.99

"Edward Freeman of Virginia, North Carolina, and Mississippi, etc." is a family history written by Jerry David Alsup, professional genealogist and retired educational administrator, who is a lifetime friend of Jerre Minor Freeman, present day descendant of this specific branch of the Freeman family tree. Edward Freeman is the first proven ancestor of the numerous progeny that now exist, although his direct ancestral lineage is discussed in detail in the earlier portion of this genealogy.

Two different week long trips to Wake and Franklin Counties, North Carolina and Surry and Brunswick Counties, Virginia to delve into the ancestral history of this particular family have produced interesting and factual information. Edward Freeman died in North Carolina and left a will which is still extant and which helps us to better understand the story of his heirs and their offspring.

The research compiled for this special family provides a thorough basis for the comprehension of the intricate family patterns discovered. This book should be interesting and informative for the most inquisitive family members or anyone who appreciates thorough and true research.
