Description
Excerpt from Our Kindred: The McFarlan and Stern Families, of Chester County, Pa;, And New Castle County, Del;; In Two Parts
Ithout knowing originally that there were any established rules governing Genealogy or the line of descent, my brother Jacob and I started out years ago to collect the Family Record of''our numerous clan, for our own gratification, and the wish to know from whom we were descended, without having the remotest idea that''such research would ever result in a book. Because of the indifference of so many who were appealed to for information - they caring for none of these things - our. Efforts at collecting records soon subsided, and for a score of years remained dormant. In the meantime, my brother removed to the west, and in 1871, by a strange providence, found a lost branch of our''family, that had been missing for over forty years. The ex ellement caused by this interesting circumstance fairly galvanized me, and I determined to try, try again, my aini being to collect all records as far back as Grand-parents, paternal and maternal.
