Book Description

Excerpt from The National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Vol. 1: April, 1912 Now the Lord has said unto Abraham Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred and from thy father's house unto a land that I Will show thee: and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing. Goethe declared that Happy is the man who recalls his ancestors with pride, who treasures the story of their greatness, tells the tales of their heroic lives, and with joy too full for speech realizes that fate has linked him with a race of goodly men.
