Last year, I made an offer that if someone would come forward with an old copy of Jean A. Sargent’s 3rd Edition of Babb Families of America that I would trade it for any new book of their choice.
That day came during the Babb Family Association’s reunion and today I had the opportunity to disassemble the book and scan it. I’ve placed it alongside every other version of our family saga produced either by Jean A. Sargent or myself.
