A work of this nature must necessarily be imperfect,especially when we remember that our ancestors, when leavingEurope, seemed anxious to destroy every link that bound themto the land of their nativity. But after almost a year of pains-taking research, during which the author has written morethan 5 00 letters and cards of inquiry, more than half of whichare yet unanswered, it is a source of congratulation that re-sults are as good as they are, and that this work will be treas-ured by all v/ho appreciate knowing who we are and w^hence wecame.
