from T. M. Gray: "I don't believe anyone should have to shell out lots of hard-earned money to learn about their own heritage, and let's face it, a book this size would cost dearly. No one (other than my own children) will find themselves directly descended from every individual in this book, but even if they find a handful of ancestors within, it's well worth a look. I'm not a professional genealogist; I admit that right from the start--but genealogy has been a passion of mine for many years and the time was right to bring it all together. If you're into genealogy like I am, it's my sincerest hope that you'll find Gray's Necronomicon of some help in your own research."
