THREE BOOKS OF ALTIZER GENEALOGY
EMERA ALTIZER AND HIS DESCENDANTS With Sketches of Connected Families By RUBY ALTIZER ROBERTS and ROSA ALTIZER BRAY |
||
| This, the very first book about the Altizer family,
was written in 1937. It is a soft bound volume of 164
pages that contains a lot of diligent research (before
the computer era), family stories, history and background
information. Several of the original publication are
still floating around, although the only way you will get
one is to inherit or steal it. Reprints are
available at Higginsonbooks.com
at a cost of $27.00. |
EMERA ALTIZER Of MONTGOMERY COUNTY,VA And SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS 1736 - 1997 by Ora Belle Mayberry McColman And Others |
||
This book is over 600 pages of family lineage. It is 8.5x11 inches, ring bound listing of several hundred Altizers and their relatives and would be a great addition to your research library. I believe the price of the book is $35.00. It is available directly from Ms. McColman at: (as of 1999) Ora Belle McColman 2123 - 10th St., NW Roanoke, VA 24012-3925 (540) 366-9142 (10/10/07: If anyone knows whether or not this book is still available, please let me know.

THE ALTIZER FAMILY Sons and Daughters of The Old Dominion by William E. Payne & Berdine E. Warden Payne |
||
This book would be a beautiful addition to anyone's library. It is 8½ x 11 inches, and offset printed on 60 pound acid free paper. It contains over 740 pages including 83 half-tone photographs, an index, and a bibliography. It has a hard binding in a deep green color, with gold foil letters stamped on the front and spine, and the spine is over sewn for sturdiness. Do not be deceived by the title. It is not just about the Altizer families that lived in Virginia. Bill has researched all branches of the Emera Altizer family and their descendants and compiled as much information about each branch as could be located, regardless of where they lived. SORRY! Bill has asked me to inform everyone that the 200 copies of this book that were printed are now all gone. (3/1/07) email address: wepayne@suddenlink.net |
THE ALTIZER QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER Tamara D. Altizer, Editor |
||
| Unfortunately this timely, topical little newsletter is no longer being published. It was issued for about 4 years and, I believe, Tamara does still sell back copies. Her email address is delianmara@aol.com. Her website link is on the front page of this site. |
