NEW ENGLAND SETTLERS: Who's Who

I purchased the GENEALOGICAL REGISTER on my interlude to researchig my own family background as part of a FAMILY REUNION project initiated in JUNE 1992. The Witherspoon family and the Jemison family determined in that year, almost 30 years after the first family reunion of Bertha Witherspoon's family, to begin a more indepth study of how we came to exist in the United States of America. The book is in and of itself a critical foundation to any genealogist or researcher of sociological history as a starting point from which to trail the development of populations in this nation. It orients NEW ENGLAND as the origination of documented arrival for traveler's from England. The pages are an exact duplicate of museum materials.Carmen R. Jimerson
