On the 12th of May, I posted a blog about our continued operations at Family Roots Publishing during the COVID-19 era. Honestly, I thought this thing would be past us now, but as we all know – I was wrong. We’ve been fortunate in Pierce County as we’ve only had 129 coronavirus deaths here – much less than many areas. We’ve had over 5000 cases, with 2400 still active. I consider that pretty good, considering the size and population of the county. Our county is in what they call Phase 2 – and we’ve been stuck there for months. Most businesses are operational, but with lots of restrictions. We continue to print and ship books, but with very limited numbers of staff on site. In the last month, we produced a number of new books – some not even posted to the website yet. I’m hoping to have all new products on the FRPC website by the weekend.
I know that COVID-19 has touched many of your families – some directly. We pray that you will be safe, and if you do get it, that recovery will be quick. On a personal level, our son lost his sister-in-law. She was only 30 (with no underlying conditions that we know of), and lived in Utah. Lee suddenly became a believer in COVID-19, which he was somewhat skeptical about previously. This thing is real folks. Be careful and take precautions. Don’t count on anyone doing it for you.
I’ll be posting about the new books. Exciting things have been happening behind the scenes here. We have resources now available that will be game changers for thousands of researchers.
