Descriptive Summary of this book
This book focuses on the descendants of the authors oldest proven Stevenson,
Arrington and Tucker ancestors. These lines are related to the authors
Casey line (see pedigree chart above for the relationship between these
lines). The authors of this book are experienced genealogists and have
previously published four family histories. Robert Casey and his father,
Harold Casey, published Casey Family History in 1980 and then published
Shelton, Wininger and Pace Families in 1988. Robert Casey and his mother,
Bernice (Brooks) Casey, published Brooks Family History in 1982 and Olliff
Family History in 1992. Robert Casey and his mother, Bernice (Brooks)
Casey, are currently compiling Bryan Family History. Robert and his
wife, Diane (Thede) Casey, are also compiling Thede, Steeby, Aubil and
Garver Families. The Casey family has compiled over 55,000 cousins so
far in their research.
This is the first edition of Stevenson, Arrington and Tucker Families
and was compiled by Robert Casey and Roberts father, Harold Casey. Although
Harold Casey died on January 8, 1991, this book will continue to use his
name as one of the authors because of his significant contribution to this
project. It is highly recommended that anyone wishing to preserve their
Stevenson, Arrington and Tucker family history, write and contribute any
information in their possession. We are specially interested in copies
of older photographs, family history recorded in Family Bibles, existing
family history sketches, genealogical correspondence which contains a significant
quantity of information, letters and diaries written prior to 1900, older
legal documents, census records as well as recent additions to your families.
The authors would greatly appreciate receiving additional information and
this information will be included in future editions and updates of this
publication. Much information received by the authors on our family history
has been copied and revised several times prior to its inclusion in our
book. The authors have learned from experience that copying and interpreting
family history information usually results is less accurate information.
Additionally, primary sources of valuable information as well as critical
information are lost in this process. If a large amount of information
is derived from another person or existing written material, then please
send the name and address of the source or Xerox the existing material.
The authors can not emphasize enough, the need and usefulness in locating
and obtaining the original sources of research material.
Much of the history of the Stevenson, Arrington and Tucker families is
incomplete and some may be incorrect. The authors wish to apologize to
those cousins whose information on their line is briefly covered or contains
errors. These errors and omissions can not be corrected without your assistance.
There are many of our relatives who are interested in adding to our family
history but do not know that this book has been published. Additional
names and addresses of other interested family historians are very difficult
to find without your help. Information has been obtained from many sources
and references are listed with each family sketch to aid future research
on the lines contained in this book.
This book includes over 5,500 individuals and has over 40 photographs and
illustrations (images not included in this Internet version). This family
history has not been published in paper form to date. This book is currently
6 inch x 9 inch in format and is a candidate for paper publication as the
size and scope of this family history represents a possible publishing
project. Preliminary versions (text only) of this publication and other
publications are now available in electronic form as HTML files and Adobe
Acrobat files.
This publication depends heavily on one massive research file from the
1950s, about twenty paper based publications, contributions from about
30 serious genealogists, around ten files on the World Family Tree, several
hundred census records and several hundred original source documents.
Because only 30 living individuals have contributed to this publication,
printing several hundred copies of a high quality hard back book would
make it extremely difficult to recover printing costs. A first edition
of this family history could be published in paper form. If you are interested
in assisting with the publication of this book or you just want to find
out more about this possible publication project, please contact the author
for additional information.
Future Paper-based Publication of
Interest in this publication is probably very limited because very few
individuals were personally involved with its compilation. This publication
was originally based on a vertical file of research notes that was found
in the Dallas Public Library. This research was conducted in the 1950s
and none of the individuals involved are around to support any publication
effort. Additionally, this author was fortunate locate several major secondary
sources which greatly expanded the scope of this publication with minimal
involvement of others. This allowed for a major percentage of the publication
to be compiled without having any known descendants located and therefore
fewer potential customers. This particular line as also was well represented
in the World Family Tree CD-ROM series and around ten files have added
to this family history.
A very good rule of thumb for publishing family histories is to print two
times the number in your mailing list of possible interested purchasers.
With only thirty contributors to this project, this estimate would result
in printing of 60 copies which is probably accurate for the first couple
of years available for sale. After publication of this authors family
histories on CD-ROM and Internet, this author will then start publishing
family histories in paper based form as well. Which titles are printed
first will be dependent on interest from relatives and their participation
in these publishing projects. This author greatly prefers to continue
to publish high quality hard books. However, with increased printing costs
and with only thirty potential customers, Stevenson, Arrington and Tucker
Families would have to be an economical printing or would require economic
assistance from others.
With over one ton of books still on hand, this author would have a serious
storage problem if too many titles printed and / or too many copies of
these titles were printed. Additionally, promoting and distributing these
family history books is a labor intensive effort which distracts from the
authors time available for additional genealogical research. The authors
last title, Olliff Family History, was an ideal publishing project for
this author where over half of the books were shipped in quantity to several
serious genealogists who contributed to the project and had a serious interest
in the publication of the family history. Around six individuals contributed
to the project and all recovered their expenses within one year and all
still have many copies available for sale.
This author will consider printing any of the nine possible family history
books that could be printed. This author will primarily publish future
family history publications on CD-ROM and Internet. However, this author
is still very interested in publishing paper based publications but needs
your assistance in the printing, storage and distribution costs. The cost
to print a family history ranges from around $500.00 to $5,000.00. This
wide range in costs is primarily based two primary factors: 1) the number
of copies printed and 2) the number of pages included. Contrary to popular
belief, the quality of the publication is primarily based on the quantity
printed not the publishers desire to pay extra for a high quality publication.
If only 100 copies are printed, a high quality hardback book costs more
to print than family members are willing to pay. For the printing of the
