I bany. New York" The preface says:
This work has been prepared with a
view to facilitate the study OF family
history, by furnishing an index to the
genca1og1es contained In the largo num-
Der of county and town histories, COL
lections. of public and privately print
ed genealogies. centennial nnniversa-
ries, celebrations, biographies, and 9TH
er works containing the desired infor-
nation. But few persons have an ade-
quatc knowledge of the amount of gen-
ealogical Information to be found in
such volumes, from the fact that any
thing like full collection OF works in
those departments can only be found
In the larger cities. and In the hands
OF a few private parties. and without
consulting them. it is often an impos-
sibllity to prepare a family history. or
to learn anything very definite of
any particular family. With the assist
anco furnished by this index
no difficulty will be experienced by any
individual interested In such investiga-
tioDs. 1t also affords instruction to tho
general reader. who may not know
whether the history of his native coun-
ty town. or village has been even writ
ten and published; but it's most desirable
feature is the knowledge to be gained
by all persons, whether residing in
the country or elsewhere. who. by e1-
amining Its pages, can inform them
selves whether the genealogy. or pedi-
gree of any family, or any portion
thereof. In which they may feel an in
terest. has been printed In any volume,
and IL So that they may have the bone
fit OF such information. Several hun
drcd volumes of historical and bio
graphical publications have been mi
nutely examined In detail, and not de-
pending upon the indexes appended tc
such volumes. which are more or less
defective, and incomplete. A number
of such works not accessible to the
compiler have been examined by the
parties interested In perfeoting this
work. The more important names In
Dr. Savage's Genealogical Dictionary,
and Austin's Rhode Island Genealogical
Dictionary have been noticed, as we'll
as the genealog1es found in the volumes
published IN the New England Historl
cal and Genealogical Register, and tho
New York Genealogical and Biographi-
cal Record. This is the only work of |
the kind published in this country. II
has been the aim Of the compiler to |
make 1t as thorough and complete aa |
possible. though undoubtedly there arr |
some works. that have boon inadvert- |
emily omitted. With the hope that n /
VIII supply need which II is believed |
has long existed, and be of utility to |
the genealogical student. the volume is
commended to the public"
