Tierck Clafsen DeWitt and Descendants of His Son Luycas DeWitt
The DeWitt genealogy is a fascinating study of 26 generations of the family from 1293 to the present. This work is the collaboration of descendants of the three children of Leucas, ninth child of Tierck Clafsen DeWitt. American Ambassador Lester DeWitt Ballor of UEL descent obtained a copy from The Royal Library of the Hague of Beschayving DerStad Dordrecht by Mattys Balen, Jans Zoon published in 1677. This information provided the first thirteen generations in Holland. He also received a 32-page copy of a lawsuit in 1684 by Jan DeWitt on behalf of his brother Tierck for rent owned by Pieter Janz, their sister Faelde's husband. The property was land inherited by Tierck from his father Nicholaas. It provided information on her mother Taetje Cornelisz, her father, brothers and their shipyard.

Forgotten Mysteries
Today, as age-old certainties crumble in men’s hands, it is natural to ask, “What is the truth behind those strange, half-forgotten tales that seem forever recurring, those facts which, if substantiated, would change our conception of the universe?” Are there ghosts, sea serpents, messages from Mars? Have there been phantom armies? Was there a lost continent of Atlantis? Can men wander along the dimension of time? What of the tales that cluster around this thing called dying? Each of the 15 chapters in Forgotten Mysteries covers a different type of mysterious occurrence. For the first time the whole field of the enigmatical has been presented in one volume. “One of the world’s foremost authorities on psychic phenomena.”—United Press “...enormously readable...”—The Chicago Daily News “This book is in a class by itself.”—San Francisco Call Bulletin “...a fascinating book...”—Vincent Starrett, Chicago Tribune “Tales to keep you awake...Miller focuses the eye of the scientist upon the outre, evoking case histories rather than dungeons, facts rather than ghostly moans.”—Edwin Fadiman, Jr., Philadelphia Inquirer
French Exit
Frances Price is in dire straits. Scandais swirl around the recently widowed New York socialite, and her adult-aged, toddler-brained son Malcolm is no help. Cutting their Tosses, they grab their cat, Small Frank, and head for the exit. Paris becomes the backdrop for a giddy drive to self- destruction, helped along by a cast of singularly curious characters. Brimming with pathos, warmth and wit, French Exit is a riotous send-up of high society and a moving story of mothers and sons.
Lightning Rods
The long-awaited second novel by the author of “arguably the most exciting debut novel of the decade: The Last Samurai.” (Sam Anderson, New York). “All I want is to be a success. That’s all I ask.” Joe fails to sell a single set of the Encyclopedia Britannica in six months. Then fails to sell a single Electrolux and must eat 126 pieces of homemade pie, served up by his would-be customers who feel sorry for him. Holed up in his trailer, Joe finds an outlet for his frustrations in a series of ingenious sexual fantasies, and at last strikes gold. His brainstorm, Lightning Rods, Inc., will take Joe to the very top — and to the very heart of corporate insanity — with an outrageous s...
