“In my personal genealogy research, I often spent days in courthouses, libraries, and cemeteries, as well as considerable expense copying, records only to discover that I was following in another researcher's footsteps. I could have saved myself time, effort, and a lot of money if I'd only known of this research earlier. Isaac Abercrombie was one of my personal ancestors, so much of this information is from data collected by my mother Ellorine Cottingham, and other family researchers. Elizabeth Cowan Snead Shue also included some data on related Abercrombie's in her great book on the Sneads, SNEAD NOTEBOOK, published in 1991. The book is now out-of-print.
