Genealogical Records: Manuscript Entries of Births, Deaths and Marriages, Taken from Family Bibles 1581-1917

In 1917, The Colonial Dames of the State of New York, published this volume, which was the result of an effort that had been underway for over four years. This work represents ninety genealogical records found in old family Bibles of Dutch and English New York families, Bibles, which, at the time of publication, were fast disappearing and with them were lost the missing links sought by genealogists and family historians. With more than 3,000 names in the index, there is a treasure of genealogical information, most of which is listed in chronological order, and includes marriages, births and deaths. There are also numerous narratives and addenda provided on the lives, deaths, etc., of many of the family members. Paperback, (1917), repr. 2011, Illus., Index, 389 pp.
