This web page is the introduction to 500 page image scans of
Memoirs of the Wilkinson Family,
published in 1869 by Rev. Israel Wilkinson

Of special interest is the 27 notable Wilkinson descendant biographies

This book was scanned in on a Visionshape 1251 automatic feed scanner by myself and is for free non-commercial use on the Internet.

This is part of a free Books Online Effort, 20+ books can be found here -

I hope that people will volunteeer to type this book into HTML or text format so the text can be placed online and be searchable. I give the Rhode Island Historical Society, RIGS, NEHGS, LDS, LOC, IIGS, and other appropriate non profit history and genealogy societies the non exclusive right to use these images and and volunteered transcriptions. I think it will be OK to announce your intentions on RIGENWEB-L@rootsweb.com.
(My very limited time will be better spend scanning in other books I have.)

In January of 1999, David Blackwell generously allowed the Wilkinsons on the Web site to store this book. His contribution is greatly appreciated, as this book is in high demand by Wilkinson researchers, and is very difficult to find.

Volunteers would still be very much appreciated to convert this document to text or html for searching and to reduce the download and storage size of the document. Please contact me at (Click Here) if you would like to volunteer.
