It has been a very long time since, in 1942, Hubert Bookout of Dallas, Texas began to correspond with other Bookouts in hopes of compiling a family history on behalf of all Bookout families. Since his time there have been half a dozen or so other Bookouts and Bookout descendants who have continued his efforts in a scattered way and, for the most part, independently of each other.
Several years ago, with the advent of online computer services like Prodigy and America Online, there has been unprecedented cooperation among family historians interested in Bookouts, and a database giving the basic branches of the Bookout family tree, stemming from Joseph Bookout of Randolph County, North Carolina, has been worked out in considerable detail.
Those of us who have contributed to this effort would like to share what we have found with your family. We will be glad to send you a 3 1/2" floppy disk free for the asking. None of us are professional genealogists, and all do what we do as amateurs as a matter of sheer interest and family pride.
What we have assembled is not just another electronic compendium of Bookout telephone numbers and addresses from nationwide directories, but a bona fide genealogy of the Bookout family pieced together from censuses, family Bibles, cemetery records, obituaries and other documentation. Family lore is included but is decidedly secondary.
You need to let us know whether you have an IBM computer (or IBM clone) or Macintosh. You will need also a genealogy program that is able to import and export GEDCOM files. (It is possible to look at a GEDCOM file in your word processor, but this is cumbersome.)
If you subscribe to America Online, to some other service or have Internet addresses, we will be glad to send you the online addresses of those of us who share new information with each other in this way.
It's ironic that the technology that broke up the close-knit family groups we knew as kids, which were often unaware of their extended families, has now provided us the means to bring relatives who never heard of each other together again.
We extend to you our sincere welcome and earnest wish that you will add your store of Bookout information to what we already have. Mrs. Cindy Dickinson has been generously serving as a clearing house for all of us and would appreciate anything you wish added to our disk: 1038 Butterfield Coach Road,
Springdale, AR 72764.
Across the miles and years, we are glad to be in touch again.
