A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book, begun many years ago, has been of gradual g-rowth. It was the writers first intention to prepare only a genealogical record of his fathers immediate family; afterwards lie midertook to enlarge its scope so as to include the descendants of his grandfather; and then again at his fathers request he began to trace backward the line of ancestry as far as possible, in order to connect the European with the American family. In 1877 we visited I reland, Scotland, England, Holland, etc., and while there obtained what information we could relative to the work, and began arranging the materials. The preparation of this book has been a work of great difficulty, which those only can appreciate who have themselves attempted to perform a similar task. Our early American ancestors, while engaged in subduing the forests and undergoing the hardships and dangers of frontier life, paid little attention to the recording of their family history; at least, but little has been preserved to posterity, or is now accessible. A great difficulty has also arisen in collecting information from the very many distant and scattered families in all parts of the land, by means of correspondence. While hundreds of letters of inquiry have been sent out, many remained unanswered; a large number of those received were very meager; and some of them almost illegible. In the search for information concerning our own branch of the family, we came into possession of much of the genealogy of other branches, which we thought ought to be preserved, and this has led still further to the enlargement of the work.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
