All back issues are available upon request for the same cost as the original subscription: $5.00

for each issue, $30.00 for each volume/year of six issues. No added charge for shipping. Please make

checks payable to Robert M. Wilbanks IV.

This contents outline will help identify what topics are covered in each issue. This will allow

anyone to identify specific issues they would like to purchase.

I decided to format this as one large Contents instead of as an index. In this way, an individual

can see which issue would be most beneficial to buy. I have attempted to define in quick-detail what is

exactly in each issue. Most everything should be self explanatory. However, I will here describe in more

detail what some of the regular columns actually consist of:

BIRTH, DEATH, MARRIAGE RECORDS – are the specified records for the indicated region, extracted

from various sources.

BOOK EXTRACTS – are miscellaneous, uncategorized records of Milams extracted from various

published sources such as records abstracts or family histories. I usually identify the county and state of

the record or family group.

CEMETERY RECORDS – are readings or other records of locations and markers of Milam burial spots.

I usually identify the county and state of the record.

CENSUS RECORDS – is a record of all the Milams found in the state indicated, for the year that is

indicated.

LAND, PROBATE, COURT, ETC., RECORDS – are the specified records for the indicated region,

extracted from various sources.

LETTERS – are generally records by earlier researchers of the Milam name and families in America.

MILITARY MILAM – is a detailed biography of a Milam who served in the military during one of the

major American wars.

MILITARY RECORDS – are records referring to Milams who served in the military during one of the

major American wars.

SUBSCRIBERS LIST – is a list of current or new subscribers, with their contact information and Milam

lineage included.

THREE GENERATIONS – is a biography of the individual mentioned, plus biographies of his children,

with listings of their children (the grandchildren of the individual first mentioned); hence, three

generations of Milams.
