From 1985 until 2002, I published a Young surname newsletter called “Born Young Newsletter,” having taken over the job from founder Donnie Knight. The purpose of the newsletter was to help people who were researching Young ancestors, including those with variant name spellings such as Yung, Jung, and so on. Here I will attempt to post digital copies of the newsletters that were published. For now, here is a list of contents of the newsletters I used to publish.
