This third volume covers more than fifteen mid-Atlantic and sixty Southern families. Principle surnames include Gilliam and Hamner of Virginia, Van Winkle of New Jersey, and Vermillion of Maryland. 

This book follows the direct ancestry of Leonard Harold Walker DeBernardi and Judith Elaine Ontko. These families made their way from Europe to the eastern coast of America and eventually to Minnesota and beyond. Many of Leonard’s English ancestors—connected to the Claflin and Fenton families—migrated to New England and New Jersey during the 1600s, while others—connected to the Walker and Branson families—chose to settle in Maryland and Virginia during the 1700s.

Finally we found a chart that allows you to track more than 10 generations on a single paper. We recommend you buy two. Generations 1-9 are on the front, 10-15 are on the back along with plenty of white space to document even more generations of long lines.  Two charts side-by-side would allow you to display the entire 15 generations.  This chart is also folded and hole-punched to fit in a three ring binder.  This chart is shipped folded in quarters. As this item is lightweight, we will adjust all shipping charges before we ship your order to you.

Maureen Taylor, The Photo Detective explores the history of toques and top hats, bowlers, and bonnets to add another dimension to understanding your family photographs. Fanciful, frilly, and fascinating, women’s hats made a fashion statement. There were hundreds of choices available each season. And they came with names like Leghorns, Gainsborough’s, poke bonnets, and wide-awakes. Home factories produced trim and hats for milliners, while enterprising women raised small birds destined to be stuffed for hat adornments. Men’s hats could be utilitarian.
