Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Kelloggs in the Old World and the New, Vol. 1
Nevertheless, mere enthusiasm on the part of the compiler will not produce a genealogy. He needs the assistance and encouragement of the family whose rec ord he tabulates. I have had this support, and I desire to place on record my thanks to the members of the Kellogg family, individually and collectively, for the courtesies extended to me by them in the preparation of this work.
I have essayed to give all obtainable details in the earlier generations and to condense as far as possible 111 the later ones, in the belief that, in the face of the imperative need of keeping the Genealogy Within reasonable bounds, the living generation's of the family would prefer to hear less of themselves and more of their ancestors.
There is enough 111 the volumes, however, to furnish ample opportunities for conversation to those of the Kellogg kin Who may be good talkers on a variety of subjects, but who never really become enthusiastic until they talk of their family and their connections. Their discourse, too, may include many parts of the world for the family is widespread and there has seemingly been a tendency to keep abreast With movements of emigration.
