Greetings! People are beginning to contact me in response to receiving their From Tingewick to Tioga books. While I have been advised by other compilers of family history materials to anticipate inevitable corrections (and additions) to the data we presented, the reactions are so overwhelmingly positive that I decided to keep a document of “quotes” in order to share them.

Blessings to you all.

Mary Holton Robare

“Just a quick note to let you know that I received the Holton book yesterday. Read some of the narrative, checked out the pictures, and found our family on pg. 135. Nice job, all around. I am sure that you have a real sense of satisfaction.” (S. Holton)

“Received the books yesterday. Just fine. Went through page by page for the pictures and maps; and will go back and read in the next couple weeks. Thank you... You and [your co-editor] did a good job. I especially liked the picture of Mary, complete with hat. She was sitting on a little family treasure and am glad you printed it (saved it) (recognized it for what it was) for all.” (R. Holton)

“My books are all here as of yesterday. I am delighted and thank you so much. I think the book is beautiful...” (F. Allen)

“Book came, you did a great job. You should be proud of yourself.” (P. Kittle-Nares)

“I just got the book; very impressive!” (B. Robare)

“Fantastic! Classy; publisher did an excellent job, too. Quite an accomplishment; can tell this brought a lot of families together.” (J. Holton)
