Description:
Undoubtedly, as you, the living descendants of Alex White, review this book, you'll find errors. I hope that when you do, you will send me your corrections (address on page 50) with any additional information you may wish to appear in the next edition of this book. I don't know when it might be published or even if I will write it, but in the meantime, it is extremely desirable that one central file, somewhere, be maintained with accurate information. I will do my best to maintain this file, for anyone's use in the future, if you will send me the information.
It is interesting that Alex White Sr., from whom we have all descended, was born as Felix LeBlanc. Since then, his name has been changed to Alex White. Evidently, this happened so long ago that very few persons remember the original name as LeBlanc, and of course we, his descendants, are now known only as Whites.
