Well folks, I'm done with printing out these documents for the most part, so here are finished files for you to do it yourself, or just to save for later use. These are the latest versions, summer of 2022, in some cases much larger than any printed copies you already have. There are many, many additions and corrections, mostly on the Spieth side, where the John Rudick and Crawdad stories have been expanded. Each of these files is complete with table of contents, where applicable, and the first page should make a good cover when printed onto thicker material.
These were designed for printing on both sides of the paper, so if you print them yourself, take care to set your printer accordingly. Some printing software cannot do this, so watch out. A mistake might mean a lot of wasted paper, or a very thick book! On the subject of the paper itself, I like to use a heavier gauge, like 24 pound. I like spiral binding, too!
Clicking on an individual link should download it into your browser, in a new tab. From that point, SAVE or Ctrl+S should save that document to your device. Please contact me with any corrections or problems.

The first six files are the complete ancestry documents for myself and my five brothers and sisters. The seventh file, the Appendices, is a companion document to go with each of them. Together they print out to about 320 pages, which is why I've always divided it into two parts.

Here's the biggest single file, prepared for my aunt Noreen and her five chidren (Phil, Leslie, Amy, Brad and Pat) and for all of their descendants. Since Noreen Gingrass was married to my father's brother and was also a first cousin to my mother's father, this is a hybrid document with big parts of both sides of my own ancestry. This document prints out to nearly 220 pages!
