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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Ancestors I do believe that if all my ancestors had set down their lives in writing, and left them to posterity, many documents necessary to be known of those who both participate of their natural inclinations and humours, must in all probability run a not much different course, might have been given for their instruction and certainly it will be found much better for men to guide themselves by such observations as their father, grandfather, and great-grandfather might have delivered to them, than by those vulgar rules and examples which cannot in all points so exactly agree unto them. Therefore, Whether their life were private, and contained only precepts necessary to treat with their children, servants, tenants, kinsmen and neighbours, or employed abroad in the university, or study of the law, or in the court, or in the camp, their heirs might have benefited themselves more by them than by any else.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Devol, Long, and Allied Family Histories: Genealogical and Biographical To my cousin William Thornberg Beach, I have given my sincere thanks for his records from his family Bibles. Also to my husband's cousin, Honorable Winchester Stewart Oliphant, I am very grateful for his family pedigrees. His father, Davis Oli phant, used to entertain his children long winter evenings with stories of their ancestors' exploits in England and Scotland, all of which he verified later in life in the different histories of Scotland and Great Britain. I am also very grateful to Dr. William Ross Cooper, who has supplied me with much data concerning the Ewing and Ross lineages. The Rosses and Finleys in America all seem to have been teachers and preachers, and when I read of one poor preacher who walked two miles every day to a school and taught Latin, Greek, French, German and mathematics for two hundred dollars a year, I under stood why many of them also engaged in farming for their health. Reading many histories of the early founders of this country, the distinguishing characteristic that has impressed me most has been the staunchness and firmness with which our ancestors stood out for their religious convictions. They submitted to perse entions, tortures, and privations with dignity and high fortitude. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Know Your Ancestors Classic Reprint written by George a. Jewett and Company and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-23 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Know Your Ancestors Genealogy and history, theology and legend, are in termingled in such close affinity that the records of one support the credentials of the other - and in an analogous manner the history of a tribe or a race is often the record of a family. The consanguinty of a family name is recognized in our National Origins basis of the present Immigration law - and there are precedents in all nations and all times for the accept ance of this principle. Aeneas had no doubt that his line was descended from a remote antiquity - Virgil had no doubt that Aeneas was a royal Trojan - the Romans had no doubt that they descended from Aeneas. The Greeks traced their civilization to Egypt - the Goths to Greece - the Teutonic tribes to the Goths - and the English to the Teutons - for the Vikings were Teutonic tribes - Anglos, Saxons, Normans. American civilization is an extension of English - the English of European - the European of Asiatic. This is history, legend, evidence and belief and it is not a trifling filament that the mass of proof is increased by genealogists recording pedigrees from sources that are just becoming available.

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.

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.
