DEPARTMFNT CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS THE SWARTZ FAMILY OF THE SHENANDOAH FOREWORD Trie'morning sun is casting a golden path across the rippling waters of Can died ZZ Z tS. summer morning. The ^^J^.^^^^^1 soon ba heard. Already vacationists are pushing their way back to their V— , and^tomorrow I must also undertake the duties of my vocation after weeks of rest, r. twofoS manner I am impelled to undertake at last, the completion of a fas- JiiatSg fielH? study andresearch in presenting here some findings about our rapidly growing family. For over twenty years I have frequented on repeated occasions some of the nationalirLSm librlries to glean information about our various collateral Kn£TbTSL seeZ to havf come to share this information with you. Herein I list son* da^T that has come into my hands from similar studies made by my father, WUliam P. Swartz, and by my grandfather, Joel Swartz, by my cousin M Alberta Swartz of Philadephia in "Three Interesting Families." My great, sreat ^cle, Augustus L. Allen also published sometime in the last years of his fcZ iSe a small volume on "The Allen Family." To their records I have added Results o? considerable independent study. Resource material concerning Sterallines' has been carefully checked, and here and there in cases of doubt tiTproblem has been explained where possible, or the reasonable inference has been Indicated. Of course under certain circumstances the lineage may be claim ed eren tho names and dates of certain generations may be m doubt. Not only is this important to bring forth the results of study but this is also the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth £££ It must have been just such an auspicious day on August 18, 1827 whan Joel Swartz opened his blue eyes and lifted up his voice for the first time. He lived to ITcot one of th/most eloquent of his tines and has bestowed on us a gr.jat heri tage which all his descendants are to acknowledge and zealously safeguard to pass on to those who shall come after us. August 18, 1952 Philip Allen Swartz B ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS FOR THIS FIRST EDITION OF THE SWARTZ FAMILY OF THE SHENA.NDOAH VALLEY The publication of this family record has been possible by use of spare time in crowded weeks of regular work, often in travel, and many hours of vacation periods. The result is certain lack of uniformity and consider able variation in style and composition due to prolonged intervals between writing different sections. I ask for the readers1 indulgence where obvious errors occur in the typo graphy, due at times to mimeographing before proof reading. Some errors in information may be discovered by those most concerned, I invite you cor respondence. In fact more correspondence from our far flunp; clan would be helpful in preparing future supplements at appropriate intervals, easily added to this material, I personally desire important career data to be supplied by those in active years of life.
