Publisher's Synopsis
"This book presents the family history of Amelia Marilla Morley (1842-1927) from the 1500s in England to the deaths of her parents in Kansas in the 1880s. It addresses the women's as well as the men's lives and lines of descent. Documented stories of families and their historical contexts are told for every generation. The narrative is followed by end notes for genealogists. An extensive bibliography lists online and printed sources and offers advice on their use. A conventional ancestry report presents the genealogical facts. Indexes enable searches for persons and places. Antique woodcuts, charts, maps, and other images illuminate the text. The book's original format has been named "storied family history." History makes genealogy come alive, and genealogy makes history come alive"--.
