Notable Kin, Volume Two treats royal descents of 30 tycoon families (including Morgans, Rockefellers, and Vanderbilts); "fun" ancestors of numerous folkloric figures and Hollywood actors, actresses, directors, writers and composers; and much of the known, and some conjectured, ancestry of the three major icons in mid-20th century popular culture (Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, and Elvis Presley). Mr. Roberts also covers notable descendants of Northern New England and Rhode Island immigrants with royal forebears, and offers a genealogical tribute to the late Diana, Princess of Wales.

In Search of Separatist Edward Southworth of Leiden: His Genealogical Origins Uncovered

Submitted by nehgsadmin on

In this new work, Sue Allan presents significant research that disputes Samuel Webber’s early study of the origins of the Southworth line in America. The claim that Constant and Thomas, sons of Edward and Alice Carpenter Southworth, descend from the Samlesbury Southworths can no longer be upheld. The evidence she presents is compelling and sheds light on many of the Bradford, Southworth and other connections.
