Download or read book A Nation of Descendants written by Francesca Morgan and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From family trees written in early American bibles to birther conspiracy theories, genealogy has always mattered in the United States, whether for taking stock of kin when organizing a family reunion or drawing on membership—by blood or other means—to claim rights to land, inheritances, and more. And since the advent of DNA kits that purportedly trace genealogical relations through genetics, millions of people have used them to learn about their medical histories, biological parentage, and ethnic background. A Nation of Descendants traces Americans' fascination with tracking family lineage through three centuries. Francesca Morgan examines how specific groups throughout history grappled with finding and recording their forebears, focusing on Anglo-American white, Mormon, African American, Jewish, and Native American people. Morgan also describes how individuals and researchers use genealogy for personal and scholarly purposes, and she explores how local businesspeople, companies like Ancestry.com, and Henry Louis Gates Jr.'s Finding Your Roots series powered the commercialization and commodification of genealogy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Davis Family: A History of the Descendants of William Davis, and His Wife Mary Means This inadequate tribute to Dr. Davis has been prepared and inserted with the co-operation of several members of the family, without his knowledge, and since the M SS left his hands. I must ask his forgiveness for the liberty I have taken. My justification will come not only from the many now living who will enjoy the fruits of his labors, but from the generations still to come, who may use this book as a guide to further study of the Davis family history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia is the first comprehensive guide to the history of Japanese immigrants in the western hemisphere. It is the story of the Nikkei (people of Japanese descent and their descendants) from early immigration to the present, as they settled in the countries of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and the United States. Each chapter provides four primary areas of information: an historical overview, a bibliographic essay, an annotated bibliography, and supplementary materials including demographic data, and rare historical photographs. Noted scholars Gary Okihiro and Eiichiro Azuma provide key introductory essays on the historical context of Japanese migration from 1868 to the present. It is a valuable resource and fascinating, multi-faceted portrait of Japanese Americans for many audiences: researchers and all people of Japanese and Asian descent. The Foreword is by United States Senator Daniel K. Inouye.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now a major motion picture starring George Clooney and directed by Alexander Payne Fortunes have changed for the King family, descendants of Hawaiian royalty and one of the state’s largest landowners. Matthew King’s daughters—Scottie, a feisty ten-year-old, and Alex, a seventeen-year-old recovering drug addict—are out of control, and their charismatic, thrill-seeking mother, Joanie, lies in a coma after a boat-racing accident. She will soon be taken off life support. As Matt gathers his wife’s friends and family to say their final goodbyes, a difficult situation is made worse by the sudden discovery that there’s one person who hasn’t been told: the man with whom Joanie had been having an affair. Forced to examine what they owe not only to the living but to the dead, Matt, Scottie, and Alex take to the road to find Joanie’s lover, on a memorable journey that leads to unforeseen humor, growth, and profound revelations.
Download or read book Blake Family written by Samuel Blake and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blake Family: A Genealogical History of William Blake, of Dorchester, and His Descendants, Comprising All the Descendants of Samuel and Patience (White) Blake Old England, for an unknown home in New England, which was subsequently called Dorchester, in Massachusetts Bay. It does not require a great prophet to foretell, that as our country proceeds from infancy towards maturity, there will be an increasing desire to study the history of the men and times that have passed before us. The people will not be so completely absorbed in acquiring wealth, and indulging in luxury, and making a show; neither will there be a necessity for so much personal exertion to acquire a competence, as the nation advances in age and resources. This work, though it be small and imperfect, I place before my kinsfolk and the public, feeling assured that, as they contemplate the difficulty of the task, they will readily excuse the errors that occur, and I shall then feel that I have not spent my time in vain, nor labored for nought.

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.
