Publisher's Synopsis

Neila Hunter, the wife of Joseph R. Biden, Jr. died at an early age and was never able to share stories of her ancestry with her small children who were left behind. For that reason I wanted to do this volume for her grandchildren so that they would appreciate the ancestors who had come before them. Neila's father was Robert Neil Hunter and his ancestors came from Ireland, England, and Scotland; coming into Canada in the early 1800s. They eventually made their way to New York and other New England states and became the backbone of their communities. Many of those British lines stretched back to the Kings and Queens and Scotland and England, and then to Europe. Her mother's side (Louise Basel) was equally diverse. Her maternal grandfather came from Germany and her maternal grandmother from Middlesex, England. Each side traces back more than 100 generations to Biblical times but due to the limit of 770 pages, I could only include 35 generations in this volume. (More is available on ancestry.com) All these lines were extremely well documented and included the ancient families of medieval Europe, back to Charlemagne through the great Counts of Germany and Italy. Some of the surnames include: Lippe, Von Mansfield-Mittelor, Von Waldeck-Eiseberg, Von Julich-Kleve-Burg, Reuger, Heusser, Vogler, Von Thafling, Gunzberger, Zahn, Ratjen, Basel, Reuter, Kurtz, Richberg, Woodcock, Burr, McQueer/McQueen, Whitney, Hunter, Anderson, Walker, Sanderson, McEachern, Smith, Graham, and Morris. May her grandchildren appreciate the trials and voyages that their ancestors made, so that they could become.
