Excerpt from The Book of the Duffs, Vol. 1
As long ago as the year 1889 it was pointed out, in the pages of the Genealogist, that there existed no proper history of the Duff family in ancient times.
Again, in subsequent years, the present writers have frequently been asked by members of this large and scattered family to compile an account of the nineteenth century Duffs,'' showing their connections with each other.
