This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project to make the world's books discoverable online. It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover. Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the publisher to a library and finally to you.

Hlal, ~QQI~tYI AMERICAN ANCESTRY . • HE purpose of this work is, principally, to register in a convenient and simple form T the pedigree of anyone person, and thus record for all time man}' important facts in the history of families which would otherwise be lost. Another primary object is to publish here the ancestry of a person as complete as it is known, as a means of obtaining additional IDformation regarding it. It is also designed to be a convenient work of reference, to show the origin of the various American families. However indifferent some may affect to be regarding this question of ancestry, those who have a good pedigree will usually have a natural pride in it. Many lineages must of necessity contain nothing but simple records of uneventful gen'erations, but they will preserve facts of great interest to descendants which would otherwise in many cases be lost in the history of a family. The plan of the work is somewhat similar in idea to the well·known English works, but altered to suit the conditions of American society, and in detail is as follows: The surname or family name is given lirst. wilh the given name. residence. birth place and date of birth. This is followed by remarks of a brief biographical character, giving the principal events in the individual's life, such as occupation, college degrees if any. author- ship, public service, experiences, and if married, dale, wife's name and parentage. with remarks relating to her ancestry. If the individual whose lineage is given had brothers the same facts may be stated respecting each of them, ID order of their birth, commencing with the eldest. This completes the first generation in tracing back the lineage. Next is given the father's name, fol1owed by same class of facts, and 50 continued back in male line as far as can be traced. The 'u",,~of son, father, grandfather, etc., in direct male line are printed in black type. As the abbreviations are al1 of the most ordinary kind, it is unnecessary to mention them here. .. : :: : Copyrighted by . ~ """ , , =.':: :JOEL MUNSELL'S SONS .
