related. If you will email me with your full name, birthday along

and if you include your mailing (or email) address, I will mail (or
email) you a copy of your family tree for free!Will you put your genealogical records (i.e. your family tree) on your website?Due to many requests from Walvoord researchers, I will start placing
genealogical records online soon. Most of the information
posted will be of earlier generations, facilitating researchers who
want to link later generations (i.e. their family) to these
records. What is your privacy policy?Any family records submitted to WalvoordHistory.com
will be treated with the utmost concern for a living person's
privacy. Geneaology Reports and Family Trees listing living
persons on this site shall be marked "Private" to protect privacy and
any potential identity theft, however, names and relationships of
living person may be listed of interest to Walvoord Family History
researchers. Some vital statistics of living persons (i.e. birthdays, marriage dates, and locations,
etc.) may be posted online in the Biography section, however, this will be limited in scope.
Didn't I get a letter from you a few years ago saying that you were
writing a book on the Walvoord Family? Where can I purchase one? Well, I had intentions to publish a book, unfortunately, having
never written a book before, I was somewhat overwhelmed by the
various options I had. I wanted a fancy hardback book with lots
of pictures, but that would be costly to publish, market and
distribute, so I considered a cheaper spiral bound book. Then I
thought the World Wide Web would be the best way to get my research
out. It is in color, it can be updated, corrected, added to,
available around the globe and free to publish and
even better, it is free to read!
I received something in the mail selling a "Walvoord Yearbook" with a listing of "every" Walvoord. Should I buy this?In almost every case, these are not worth the money. These
types of books have been around for years and generally only give you a
list of phonebook listings, etc. that can be found for free on the
Internet or public library. You are not going to find any better
place to find out about Walvoords than right here! And its all
free! Questions on a particular branch? Email me.Because my last name is Walvoord, I have been asked many times if I
am related to Dr. John F.Walvoord of Dallas. Who is he?Dr. John Flipse Walvoord was my great-uncle (my late grandfather`s younger brother). He was the former president of Dallas Theological Seminary and wrote over 30 books pertaining mainly to biblical prophecy. His last book, was his autobiography, Blessed Hope.
It is very interesting and everyone with the name Walvoord should add
it to their personal library. If you would like to read a brief
biography on this website click here. If you would like to purchase a copy of Dr. Walvoord`s autobiography, click here: Blessed Hope : Autobiography of John Walvoord. Dr. Walvoord passed away on December 20, 2002.What Genealogy Software do you use?I use Family Tree Maker 2005.
