FAMILY HISTORY BOOKS
ShopMyBook no longer has my family history books (McFadyen, Dougall, Latvian). Nor CAMELOGUE. In late 2014, the company decided to re-do its format for submissions. They issued a deadline for its current users to upload their re-formatted manuscripts. This customer could not possibly comply because it would involve extensive technical changes to my manuscripts AND the three family history books require considerable revisions that will take months.
As the books begin appearing anew, they can be ordered from CreateSpace.com. On their Search line, choose the "store" option (rather than "site" option) and put Brenda Dougall Merriman in the search box.
Finally, my Fraser family history, July 2015. Thanks to learning the ropes at CreateSpace.com and to designer Jane MacNamara.
Following two ancestors who came to St Andrews, Quebec, called John Fraser: the farmer from Invernesshire who settled about 1805, and the blacksmith who arrived about 1830 ― as much as I know of their descendants and their Scottish origins.
As of September 2015, My Latvian Ancestors is updated from 72 pages to 104 pages; many more photographs from our 2013 travel to family farms;

I include this book in my opus although it is long out of print. It resulted from several years of research on behalf of Henry Newton Rowell (Hal) Jackman, who during that research period became Lieutenant Governor of Ontario (1991-1994). Being the Honourary Patron of the Ontario Genealogical Society, he agreed they could publish a portion of the research. The book dwelt only on the first emigrants, the Canadian "patriarchs" in many ancestral families: Jackman, Lillywhite, Wray, Rutherford, Campbell, Freeborn, Rowell, Green, Coyne, Gardiner, Langford, Rich, and Street. My long association developed with the Jackman Foundation and WordForce in The Petworth Project. Of surname interest is the later "companion" book by my colleague Leigh Lawson, The Jackman Family in West Sussex, 1565-1836.
