with Biographies of their Descendants from the earliest available records to the present time; with Portraits and other illustrations.
This encyclopedia for Amish genealogists is certainly the most definitive, comprehensive, and scholarly work on Amish genealogy that has ever been attempted. It is easy to understand why it required years of meticulous record-keeping to cover so many families (144 different surnames up to 1850). Covers all known Amish in the first settlements in America and shows their lineage for several generations. (955pp. index. hardcover. Pequea Bruderschaft Library, revised edition 2007.)
This book includes the descendents of Thomas Clarke McBride and Mary Elizabeth Mast. It more importantly gives the history of their ancestors from the earliest colonial times until the mid 1800's with both original research and existing material. Anyone interested in McBride, Mast, Farthing, Baird, Smith, Wilson, Green, Eggers, Harmon families with connection to the Watauga County area of North Carolina will be interested in this book. With today's interest in DNA and family trees this book may provide answers to who we are, where we came from, and why.
David Johnson, who works for the Stoke Sentinel newspaper, wanted to go to Stoke City’s first match of the season. The problem was it was at Cardiff and as the proud father of his first child he had already used up his weekly “pass” by going out with his wife Alison’s brother. In desperation he tells her “I’m writing a book” and from then on he has to.The result is a wry, sideways look at what it means to be a football fan. He captures the pecularities of being appalled by hooligans, but secretly fascinated at the same time. As he says:?gThe book is loosely based on following Stoke City for a season, but there are no long, dull descriptions of games and no dry, in-depth analysis of soccer statistics. As well as football, recurring themes include fatherhood, friendship, rubbish adverts, redemption, why National Trust members shouldn’t be allowed to own cars, urban regeneration, poverty and the impossible art of dishwasher-loading.A funny and thoughtful book for anyone who feels slightly at odds with what’s expected of them.”
From the introduction to the appendix, this volume is filled with interesting information. Covering seventeen counties—Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Buncombe, Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Macon, Madison, Mitchell, Swain, Transylvania, Watauga, and Yancey—the author spent about ten years searching and gathering materials.
