This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Genealogical History of My Ancestors and the Story of My Life About my ancestors and myself I have endeavored to be truthful. I could have said more about myself, but to have done so might have been considered egotistical. Had I said less, I might better have kept silent. This is my first attempt at literary work. It has not been written for gain, but only that my descendants may know something of the struggles and privations of their forefathers, who by their efforts and sacrifices have made the present possible. In compiling a work of this kind, errors in dates and otherwise will occur. I have told the story of my anoes tors and of myself in the hope that it will be appreciated by those who know me, and by my descendants who follow after.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History and Genealogy of the Harlan Family, and Particularly of the Descendants of George and Michael Harlan, Who Settled in Chester County, Pa., 1687 This book had its beginning in the Fall of 1881. I made a visit in September of that year to several of my father's cousins in order to learn from them some thing of the life and history of my great - grandfather Harlan. I knew little of my ancestors at that time, but found there several old letters and records which contained much that I had wanted to know. It became my desire, then, to trace my own line back to an immigrant ancestor, and, later, to set down in permanent form all that could be learned concerning the family. That desire of so long ago has culminated in the present volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book History of Isaac P Carter Family and Their Descendants Classic Reprint written by Howard Carter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Isaac P. Carter Family and Their Descendants This little book is dedicated to the descendants of Isaac P. and Joanna (Gay) Carter in the hope that in the future some one who is more capable will take it up and write a more complete history of the family than I have been able to do. I have written several letters in my endeavor to find out who our ancestors were, and where they came from, and have only succeeded in getting the names of my great grand-parents, Edward Carter and Esther Powers. In getting the names and date of birth, marriage and death of others, I have been dependant on other friends, and I am very thankful to them for their services; and while there may be some mistakes, and some of the history came from father to son, in the main I am satisfied that it is very near correct. Isaac P. Carter and his children spent their lives in a new country with but little of this world's goods and I have tried to show the conditions of life that surrounded them and the hardships and inconveniences of that life with only the bare necessaries of life; and especially the labor the female portion had to perform in preparing food and clothing for the family and the poor chance they had for an education and religious instructions.

Download or read book Thwing written by Walter Eliot Thwing and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thwing: A Genealogical, Biographical and Historical Account of the Family OF those who have never undertaken a work like this, few can realize what a vast amount of research and patient labor is re quired properly to trace out a Family Tree or Genealogy. It is not the work of a few months only, but often occupies several years. It is only within a few years that public records of births, marriages and deaths have been properly kept, even in New. England, and still in many parts of this country the keeping of such records is very imperfect, especially in the South and West. It is a matter of regret that this important branch of history has been so much neglected, as a great deal of valuable material is thereby forever lost. Those of our family who live in the South will understand this to be the reason why their records are so meagre, for I have availed myself of every opportunity at my command to obtain all the information possible, and the result is contained in the following pages. A village bearing the name of Thwing lies forty miles east of the city of York, about which Rev. Edward Payson Thwing, in his Out-door Life in Europe, writes as follows One little hamlet, ten miles distant, was my Mecca this time, the town of Thwing. It was sought with the zeal of an antiquary simply. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Genealogy 101 written by Barbara Renick and published by Thomas Nelson Inc. This book was released on 2003-04-23 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A recent Maritz Poll reported that 60% of Americans are interested in their family history. And with good reason. Through genealogy, you can go back into history to meet people who have had more influence on your life than any others -- your ancestors. And the better you get to know your ancestors, the better you will get to know yourself: the who's and what's and why's of you. Barbara Renick, a nationally-known lecturer on genealogy, tells the uninitiated researcher the steps needed to find out who their ancestors really were, and brings together for even the more experienced genealogical researchers the important principles and practices. She covers such topics as the importance of staying organized and how to go about it; where and how to look for information in libraries, historical societies, and on the internet; recognizing that just because something is in print doesn't mean it's right; and how to prepare to visit the home where your ancestors lived. Genealogy 101 is the first book to read when you want to discover who your ancestors were, where they lived, and what they did.
Download or read book The Ancestors of My Children written by William Copeland Clark and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancestors of My Children: And Other Related Children of the Generations Living in the Morning of the Twentieth Century It may he stated that the following work, in plan and scope, is not what, at first, I had in mind to compile. My ideal of a family genealogy has been and is - to take the name of an ancestor who seated a family in the New World, and make that name the trunk line of the work, placing the immigrant and his wife as generation one in the work. Then I would run the lines of those first American ancestors back in the Old World as far as practically possible. Next, I would find and place all their descendants in America, irrespective of the changes in names through marriage. In coming down the line, when one in it is found to have married, I would trace the lines of the family, of him or her, thus allied to the trunk line, straight back, at least to the come-over, and over the seas if data were available.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Collins Family: Genealogical Record (in Part) Of the Descendants of John Collins, Sr., From 1640 to 1760; A Complete Record of the Descendants of William Collins and Esther Morris, From 1760 to 1897 A scientist traces, with cumulative interest and enthusiasm, the record of an elemental atom, from its brilliant sparkle in a jewel, back through numberless ages of geologic changes and incandescent' fire mists to its fountain in the sun. I take a somewhat similar interest in tracing back along the current of life, though but a century or two, the history of that vital cell which evolves into personality. A soul shall draw from out the vast And strike his being into bounds. And, moved thro' life of lower phase. Result in man, be born and think. And act and love. The currents of life and love meet and mingle, and out of this mystery come personalities, with their relationship of lover, wife, father, mother, child and friend. On this physical basis of life, come moral and spiritual qualities. As the flower-cells in our gardens absorb their surroundings in earth and air into definite moulds of beauty, not less do personalities develop in their evolution, elements of power and heroism, patriotism and piety, service and self-sacrifice, loyalty and love; qualities of character - spiritual, beautiful and immortal. In my investigation of the records, the results of which appear in the book, no disclosures have come to light to cast a shadow upon the honor of the family name. The simple virtues of our remotest known ancestor and the pilgrims who sought a home and larger life in the wilderness of New England, have characterized their descendants. The portraits in this book were selected by those who took an active interest in it, and were willing to share in the expense of the electrotype plates. I should have been pleased to have had a larger representation of the family. In my sketches it has seemed proper that I should preserve such of the family incidents as were of my personal knowledge, and to be wholly forgotten if not thus put on record. For the record of the Collins family from John, of London, to William Collins (born I am indebted to Charles Collins, late of Yonkers, New York. His interest in the family record and his liberality in the use of money laid the foundation without which my work would never have been attempted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancestry of Mary Oliver, Who Lived Here were but few among the early settlers of New England, Whose names passed away for lack of heirs male so soon as that of John Oliver of N ewbury and Whose genealogical history can therefore be embraced in so small compass. I know no good reason for believing him to have been a member of the family of the same name in Boston; on the contrary, it may be taken as certain, that there were five or six families of this surname in Massachu setts, no two of Which have been shown to have a common origin in England. I have long Wished to try to give a correct account of the life of my own ancestor, John Oliver of N ewbury; and the number of documents illustrating his English pedigree has seemed to me such as to warrant their appearance in this shape.
