Book Description
An Excerpt from When Descendants Become Ancestors "Congratulationsyoure going to be an ancestor (someday). You cannot escape it. Nor can I. Nor can anyone else. Thats not necessarily a bad thing, depending on your beliefs about an afterlife, but each body ultimately ceases to exist. We all know that. From the moment of birth, each of us begins a journey that must ultimately conclude with our entrance into ancestry. As we research our own ancestors and mourn the lack of information available to us, we forget that we are the future ancestors of our descendants. And if we dont leave to them the kinds of information about our lives that we crave to know about our own forefathers, then we are merely perpetuating the problem." How often have you regretted your failure to engage the elder generations of your family for information about their lives and memories? How many times have you wanted just one more hour with a deceased relative who could answer that one burning question that you suddenly thought about, and that no one else can answer? Perhaps you remember a time when an older acquaintance wanted to share with you some stories about the good old days, but you couldnt be bothered. Most of us have had regrets like these, as will our descendantsunless we seek to record and preserve some stories for their use. Whether our stories are short and simple or long and complex matters not, but these stories will become part of their heritage and can certainly influence their lives. Though our contributions may not be recognized for decades, our lives matter to future generations and our stories should be told. The rest is up to each of us.

Book Description
Excerpt from Hall Ancestry: A Series of Sketches of the Lineal Ancestors, of the Children of Samuel Holden Parsons Hall, and His Wife Emeline Bulkeley of Binghamton, N. Y., With Some Account of Nearly One Hundred of the Early Puritan Families of New England, Also Tables Showing The Impracticable to verify every fact, and in some cases the errors of others may have been repeated here. Considerable new material has also been gotten together. Many facts and incidents have been te corded solely on account of their interest to the family, for which no apology should be needed as the book is intended principally for the family's use and information. The pedigrees of two progenitors in the female lines, one representing the paternal and the other the maternal side, have been success fully traced to a very early date, and tables have been prepared showing their descent through many illustrious houses in England and on the Continent. Tables are also given showing the descent from each ancestor mentioned in the Sketches. The plan of this book is the reverse of that usually adopted in genealogical works, in that, instead of tracing all the descendants of a given ancestor, it traces all the ancestors of a given descendant. This pre sents the subject from a different point of view, and makes more apparent the infinite number of lines which concentrate in each person, and the endless variety of bloods which each has in his veins, and corrects in a measure the current conceit that any man is descended from a single line.
