Book Description

Excerpt from A History of the Talley Family on the Delaware, and Their Descendants: Including a Genealogical Register, Modern Biography and Miscellany; Early History and Genealogy From 1686 No claim will we make that all of the Talleys were great and noble. Where will you find a crop of fruit or grain entirely free from blight or chaff? In searching out this record many extensive fields have been gleaned; and in the subsequent processes of threshing and winnowing, we have secured an abundant yield of well-formed, full-weight, golden grain. Why should I assume the task and the responsibility of gathering up and preserving this record? The answer may be found in the fact that it has never heretofore been done, though highly important that it should have been.

The Family Record and History of Rev. David and Naomi Gray


Book Description

Excerpt from The Family Record and History of Rev. David and Naomi Gray: Compiled and Written for the Benefit of Their Relatives and Descendants The idea of making a transcript of our family chronology and of its importance, is not original with myself, except, per haps, as to the form and extent in which it is now presented. Others of my brothers and sisters had the matter in view first, but contemplated, it is understood, only the preparation by each family of notes from which to prepare a manuscript account of our ascendants, and of what might be interesting of personal incident in their lives.

Griffith-Stebbins


Book Description

Excerpt from Griffith-Stebbins: A Family History We have the best authority - the Bible itself - for holding in remembrance our ancestors. Seldom do the inspired writers mention a name, without adding son of. Blessings are promised to children and children's children. Happy are those whose parents could claim such promises. Hence happy are we of the Griffith and Stebbins families, for our parents certainly could and did claim them for us. Common gratitude demands that we know something about them. For twenty years the family home at Rushville, Illi nois, was a real home for our two grandmothers, and there they brought their treasures, consisting largely of books and letters. When we two were left alone in that home we brought those letters from the trunks in the attic and read them with great interest.

History of the Shine Family in Europe and America (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from History of the Shine Family in Europe and America In attempting to write the history of a family one meets with many difficulties. The most reliable information to be obtained for a work of this kind is, of course, the records. But it is an endless undertaking to search for records, hidden by years of time, and scattered far and wide. And as such a history begins at a time when few records were kept, and but few of them preserved, the difficulty in procuring satis factory data is quite apparent. After tracing back only a few generations it becomes very uncertain, and unsatisfactory. In obtaining data from those who know, or should know, something of their immediate family history, you are also met with difficulties. Very few take interest enough in their family history to take the time to furnish information to make a satisfactory and complete history of the family. At first my object was simply to track back my own imme diate family to its origin, but in doing so I gathered much information of other families of the name, and concluded to put it all in book form, that it may aid others in writing a more accurate and complete history of the family Shine, or in locating relatives.

Records of the Harper Family (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Records of the Harper Family In 1894, Mrs. Jane Cowles Ford was appointed Historian of the Harper Family; and in 1899, after much conscientious arid pains taking labor she presented the manuscript which she had compiled to the Family Association. A Publishing Committee was appointed, consisting of Mr. Robert A. Austin, of Chicago, as Chairman, Cap tain E. 'r. Palmer, of Omaha, Neb., Mr. E. R. Harper, of Denver, Colo., and Carrie Harper White, of Colorado Springs, Colo. The manuscript was placed in their hands for further action. At the re union of the following year 1900, the Chairman of the Committee reported that, owing to the fact that the Records were received from so many different sources and that there was so much repetition, it would be impossible to print the work in book form until it had been largely re-written. Carrie Harper White was appointed to assume this task, which she has performed ti) the best of her ability, with the material at her disposal. It seems quite eminently fitting that this short sketch of the life of Jane Cowles Ford, who compiled the material for the following Records of the Harper Family should have an important place. This sketch is a tribute of Ford's daughter, Carrie Ford Searle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
