"I don't know how this rootsweb thing works, but I would strongly suggest that you try to get in direct contact with whoever is trying to find out the Greenbury/Kaake/Harries information.
I say this because I have one of the few copies of the Kaake book. It was compiled over many years by a Kaake who lives (if indeed he is still alive) in Western Canada. The darned thing is an honest two inches thick of 8X11 pages and hardbound. It covers not only Rebecca and her descendents but those of her 16 brothers and sisters as well. Peter, the author, has almost all of my information in that book. You could not duplicate his efforts, starting from scratch, in a year (or maybe ten) I am sure. I am assuming here that the contents are not already on line, of coarse. I also have detailed work on these families done by a lady from Barrie about a decade ago. Plus I have ALL of my own materials on hard copy. If you are doing this for someone else when it is already done I suggest that there must be an easier way."
