Dear Rich:
I'm excited by this project. I would suggest contacting Dr. James D. Price
at Temple Baptist Seminary (DrJDPrice@aol.com). He has a great deal of
material on the use of computers to reconstruct geneological trees of
various readings. If you could find room for a discussion of the "King James
Onlyism" in this Encyclopaedia, I would be happy to contribute any material
that I have on the subject
