I\'m a descendant of the many \"John Wests\" of 17th and 18th century Virginia. I\'m looking for a book titled \"The West Family of Stafford County, Virginia\" by Thomas Spalding, March 1996. When I search for this book online the first return I get is your web site. Do you know where I can get a copy of it or a link to it? Thanks
